Question

the area of a Trapezium is 540 square centimetre the distance between two parallel side is 20 cm and one of the parallel side is 20 CM The Other parallel side is​

Answer 1

Answer:

The other side of the trapezium is 34cm

Explanation :

We know that,

Area of a trapezium : ½ • (a + b) • h

Where,

• (a + b) denotes the sum of the parallel sides. One of the parallel side is 20cm (given)
• ‘h’ is the distance between (a + b)
• Area of a trapezium : 540cm²

So, we can say that

→ 540 = ½ • (20 + b) • 20

→ 540 = (20 + b) • 10

→ 540 = 200 + 10b

→ 540 - 200 = 10b

→ 340 = 10b

→ 34 = b

Hence, the other side of the trapezium is 34cm.
