Question

The area of trapezium 880cm^2. The length of the parallel sides are 60 cm and 28 cm. Find the distance between the parallel sides

Answer 1

solution: -

Area of trapezium = 1/2 (sum of parallel side)* height

=> 880 = 1/2 (60+28)* height

=> 880= 44*height

=>height = 20 cm

hence, distance between parallel side= 20cm

Answer 2

Hey Friend !!!
Here's Your Answer ____________________________

first parallel side be a

second parallel side be b

now,

area of trapezium = 1/2 (a+b) ×h

=> 880 = 1/2 (60+28) ×h

=> 880 = 1/2 × 88 ×h

=> h = 880 × 2/88

h = 20

hence, distance between parallel side (height) = 20cm
