Question

The area of a trapezium is 440 sq.m. The two parallel sides are 30m and 14m. Find the Distance between two parallel sides ​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of trapezium = 1\2 × (a + b) × distance between two parallel sides

440 Sq. m. = 1\2 × ( 30m + 14m ) × distance between two parallel sides

440 m² = 1\2 × ( 44m ) × x ( distance between two parallel sides)

440 m² = 1 ×22 m × x

440 m² = 22m × x

440 m²/22m = x

20m = x

Hence, distance between two parallel sides ( x ) = 20m
