Question

the area of a Trapezium is 850 square CM one of the parallel side is 64 cm and the perpendicular distance between the parallel side is 17 cm find the length of other parallel side

Answer 1

Let we take length of other parallel side to be x.
Area of trapezium=1/2(Sum of parallel sides)*height
Area of trapezium is
1/2(64+x)*17=850
(64+x)*8.5=850
544.0+8.5x=850
8.5x=850-544
8.5x=306
x=306/1/85/10
x=3060/85
x=36cm
Hence, other parallel side of trapezium is 36cm
