Question

The area of trapezuim is 216 cm square.the length of parallel sides are 13 cm,23 cm respectively find the distance between them ???

Answer 1

area of trapezium = (1/2)×sum of parallel sides× distance between them
⇒216 = (1/2)×(13+23)× distance
⇒distance = 216/18 = 12 cm

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :-

Area of trapezium = 216 cm²

Parallel sides = 13 cm and 23 cm

To Find  :-

Distance between sides

Formula to be used :-

[(1/2) × Sum of parallel sides × Distance between them ]

Solution :-

Let the distance be x.

Area of trapezium = (1/2) × Sum of parallel sides × Distance between them

⇒ 216 = (1/2) × (13 + 23) × x

⇒ x = 216/18

⇒ x = 12 cm

Hence, Distance between sides  is 12 cm.
