Question

the areaof the trapezium is 450 sq. cm and the length of the parallel sides are 37 centimetre and 23 centimetre find the distance between them

Answer 1

Here's The Answer :

The distance between two parallel sides is the height of the trapezium.

Hence, we have to find the height of the Trapezium.

Let the height of the trapezium be H cm.



=> Area of a Trapezium = 450 sq. cm

1 /2 × (Sum of parallel sides) × Height = 450

1 /2 × ( 37 + 23 ) × H = 450

1 /2 × 60 × H = 450

60 /2 × H = 450

30 × H = 450

30H = 450

H = 450 / 30

H = 15



So, the distance between two parallel sides is 15 cm .

Answer 2

15 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

1/2×60=450

60/2=450

30=450

=450/30

=15cm
