Question

the area of a Trapezium is 60 centimetre square the distance between the parallel sides is sides is 6 cm and one of the parallel side is 8 cm wind the other parallel side

Answer 1

Let the other parallel side be x


We know that the area of a trapezium=

= 1/2 × (sum of parallel sides) × h = area.


Given,

area = 60 cm²
Distance between parallel side (h) = 6cm
One paralle side = 8cm

and we have assumed the other parallel side as x

So Let's put the value in formula

=> 1/2 × (8 + x) × 6 = 60

=> 1/2 × 6 × (8 + x) = 60

=> 3 × (8 + x) = 60

=> (8 + x) = 60/3

=> 8 + x = 20

=> x = 20 - 8

=> x = 12 cm

Hence, other parallel side is 12 cm


Hope it helps dear friend ☺️

Answer 2

Heya mate, Here is ur answer

Area of trapezium=60 cm^2

Distance between parallel sides = height of trapezium= 6 cm

One parallel side = 8 cm

Let the other parallel side be x cm.

Area of trapezium=1/2 ×(sum of parallel sides) ×height

$60 = \frac{1}{2} \times (8 + x) \times 6$

$60 = (8 + x) \times 3$

$60 = 24 + 3x$


$60 - 24 = 3x$


$36 = 3x$

$\frac{36}{3} = x$


$12 = x$


So, the other parallel side of the trapezium=12 cm.

========================
✔A quadrilateral with only one pair of parallel side is said to be a trapezium.

✔Area of trapezium=1/2 ×(sum of parallel sides)×height

✔The perpendicular distance between two parallel sides of a trapezium is said as height.
