Question

the area of trapezium is 1586cm square and distance between the parallel sides is 26cm if one of the parallel side is 62cm find the other​

Answer 1

Answer:

Area of the trapezium =1586 cm

2

Distance between the parallel sides =26 cm

And, length of one parallel side =38 cm

Let us suppose the length of the other side to be x cm.

Now, area of the trapezium =

2

1

× (Sum of the parallel sides)× (Distance between the parallel sides)

⇒1586=

2

1

×(38+x)×(26)

⇒1586=

2

26

×(38+x)

⇒13×(38+x)=1586

⇒38+x=

13

1586

⇒38+x=122

⇒x=122−38=84 cm
