Question

The area of trapezium is 980cm. It the lengths of two parallel sides are 40cm and 30cm respectively,find the distance between the two parallel sides

Answer 1

Answer:

The distance between two parallel side = 28 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Area of the Trapezium  = 980 cm.

Length of the two parallel sides are 40 cm and 30 cm.

Solution:

Let the distance between two sides be height

Since, Area of the Trapezium = $\frac{1}{2}$ x (Sum of the length of the two parallel sides) x height.

⇒ 980 = $\frac{1}{2}$ x (30 + 40) x height

⇒ 980 x 2 = 70 x height

⇒ height  = 28 cm.

∴ Distance between the two parallel sides is 28 cm.
