given ,
area of trapezium = 768 cm^2
area of trapezium = 1/2( sum of parallel sides )×h
so ;
1/2 (10+x) × 16 = 768 cm^2
8 (10+ x) = 768 cm^2
80 + 8x = 768 cm^2
8x = 768 - 80
8x = 688
x = 688/8
x = 86 cm
area of trapezium = 768 cm^2

Given, Area of Trapezium = 768
Given, Altitude or height of Trapezium = 16 cm
Let the length of one of its parallel side be x
Then other parallel side will be 10 + x
As we know that --
Now, x = 43cm
So length of 1 parallel side = 43cm
Length of other parallel side = 10+43 = 53cm
Given, Altitude or height of Trapezium = 16 cm
Let the length of one of its parallel side be x
Then other parallel side will be 10 + x
As we know that --
Now, x = 43cm
So length of 1 parallel side = 43cm
Length of other parallel side = 10+43 = 53cm
