Question

The area of trapezium is 96 cm square . If the length of its two parallel sides are 14 cm and 10 cm then , find the perpendicular distance between parallel sides.

Answer 1

Area of trapezium= 1/2*(p1+p2)*height
96=1/2*(14+10)*h
96=1/2*24*h
96=12h
96/12=h
8=h

the perpendicular distance is 8 cm
