Question

the area of trapezium is 384 its parallel sides are in the ratio 3:5 and the perpendicular distance between them is 12cm find the length of each of the parallel sides

Answer 1

Hey friend !!

Here is ur answer!!

Area of trapezium is 1/2(sum of parallel sides)height

Area is 384

Parallel sides ratio is 3:5

Let these sides 3x and 5x

Area = 1/2(3x+5x)12

384 = (8x)6

384 = 48x

384/48 = x

8 = x

3x is 3×8 = 24

5x is 5×8 = 40
