Question

the area of a trapezium is 704 cm square and the length of its parallel sides are 38 cm and 54 cm, find the perpendicular distance between them​

Answer 1

Answer:

15.30cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Area of trapezium = 704

Two parallel sides are, 38cm and 54cm

we have to find the height,

therefore, Area of trapezium = 1/2(sum of parallel sides) ×Height

Now put the given values in the formula,

1/2(38+54)×Height = 704

1/2×92×Height = 704

46 × Height = 704

Height = 704÷46

Height = 15.30 cm

Hence, the perpendicular distance will be15.30cm
