Question

The difference between the length of // sides of a trapezium is 8cm, the perpendicular distance between these sides is 24cm and area of trapezium is 312m². Find the length of each of the // sides​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let x and y are the two parallel sides of trapezium

Then a−b=8m→1

Now, 21​×(a+b)×24=312㎡

⇒a+b=24312×2​=26⇒a+b=26→2

Solving 1 and 2, we get

2a=34⇒a=17m

And 17−b=8⇒b=9m
