Question

The area of a trapezium is 960cm.One of the two parallel sides is 46 cm long.The distance between the two parallel sides is 24cm.Find the length of the side parallel to the given parallel side.​

Answer 1

Answer: The length of the side with 34cm parallel to the given parallel side 46​

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Area of trapezium=960

One of the parallel side=46

Another parallel side=?

We have to find out the other parallel side using the formula

Area of trapezium=1/2x(sum of parallel sides)x distance

960=1/2x(46+x)24

960=(46+x)12

960/12=(46+x)

80=46+x

80-46=x

34

Hence we can get the length of the side with 34cm parallel to the given parallel side 46​
