Question

The area of a trapezium shaped field is 450m2. Find the height of the field if the length of the parallel sides are 18m and 12m

Answer 1

Solution

Given :-

• The area of a trapezium shaped field = 450 m²
• the length of the parallel sides are 18m and 12m

Find :-

• Height of trapezium shaped field

Explanation

Let, parallel side of trapezium shaped field is a = 18 m, b = 12 m, And height be h .

Using Formula

$\boxed{\underline{\tt{\red{\:Area_{trapezium}\:=\dfrac{h(a+b)}{2}}}}}$

keep all above Values

==> Area of trapezium shaped field= h(12 + 18)/2

==> 450 = h(30)/2

==> 15h = 450

==> h = 450/15

==> h = 30 m

Hence

• Height of trapezium shaped field be = 30 m
