Question

The area of a trapezium is 88 cm² and its height is 8 cm. If one of its parallel side
is 10 cm. Find the length of the other side.​

Answer 1

Answer:12 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of trapezium= (sum of parallel sides)xh/2

hence 88= (10+x)8/2 = (10+x)/4

88/4 = 10+x

22=10+x

x = 22-10 = 12

⏬ HERE'S UAH ANSWER ⏬

Area of trapezium:

$\frac{1}2 \times (b1 + b2) \times h$

SO, HERE

⚫AREA=88cm^2

⚫ HEIGHT=8cm

⚫B1=10cm

⚫B2=?

↪

$\frac{1}2 \times (10 + b2) \times 8 = 88$

$\frac{1}2(10 + b2) = \frac{88}{</strong><strong>8</strong><strong>}</strong><strong>$

$\frac{1}2(10 + b2) = </strong><strong>1</strong><strong>1</strong><strong>$

$10 + b2 = </strong><strong>1</strong><strong>1</strong><strong> \times 2$

$10 + b2 = </strong><strong>2</strong><strong>2</strong><strong>$

$b2 = </strong><strong>2</strong><strong>2</strong><strong>- 10$

$b2 = </strong><strong>1</strong><strong>2</strong><strong>cm$
