Question

the area of trapezium is 300 m the perpendicular distance between the two parallel sides is 15 m . if the different of The parallel sides is 16 m, find the length of the parallel sides

Answer 1

hello frnd!!!

here's ur answer...

height of the trapezium=15m

length of one of the parallel side=16m

area of the trapezium=300m²

1/2×h(b1+b2)=300m²

1/2×15(16+b2)=300m²

7.5(16+b2)=300m²

120+7.5b2=300m²

7.5b2=300-120

7.5b2=180

b2=180/7.5


b2=24m

hence, length of the other parallel side is 24m

hope this helps u...
