Answer 1

$\huge\boxed{\blue{\bold{Question}}}$

The area of trapezium is 26.5 and perpendicular distance between them it parallel sides is 15cm .What is sum of parallel side is

?

$\huge{\mathbb{SOLUTION}}$

Area of trapezium= 26.5

Height=15 cm

to find the sum of parallel sides

Let the sum of parallel sides be x

Now according to question:-

$\large\boxed{\sf{\purple{Area \:of\: trapezium=\frac{1}{2}×Height×Sum \:of \:parallel\:sides}}}$

$\sf \leadsto 26.5=\frac{1}{2}×15×x\\ \sf\leadsto 26.5=7.5×x\\ \sf\leadsto x=\frac{26.5}{7.5}\\ \sf\leadsto x= 3.53$

Sum of parallel sides =3.53
