Question

the area of a trapezium is 64 cm if, its parellel sides are 10cm and 6 cm, then find the distance between the parellel sides ​

Answer 1

$\huge{ \underline{ \bf{AnsWer : }}}$

Given that,

➡ area of the trapezium is 64cm²

Using the formula :

Area of the trapezium = ½(a + b) h

=> 64 = ½ (10+6)h

=> 64 = ½ × 16h

=> 64 = 8h

=> h = 8 cm.

Hence, The distance between the parallel sides is 8cm.

Answer 2

Given:

• Area of trapezium = 64 cm
• Length of the parallel sides = 10 cm and 6 cm

To Find:

• Distance between parallel side, (h) ?

Solution:

Let the distance between the parallel sides be "h".

As we know that,

⋆ Area of the trapezium = ½(a + b) h

According to the question,

➜64 = ½ (10+6)h

➜64 = ½ × 16h

➜64 = 8h

➜h = 8 cm.

Hence, The distance between the parallel sides is 8cm.
