Question

The length of parallel sides of a Trapezium are 7.5cm and 6.5cm resp. If its area is 26.6 sq cm then find its height.​

Answer 1

Answer:

3.8cm

Explanation:

We know that,

Area of a trapezium : ½(a + b)h

Where,

• (a + b) denotes the length of the parallel sides - 7.5 & 6.5cm
• h represents the height
• And its area is 26.6cm²

On substituting the given values :

→ 26.6 = ½(7.5 + 6.5)h

→ 26.6 = ½(14.0)h

→ 26.6 = 7h

→ 26.6/7 = h

→ 3.8 = h

∴ The height of the parallelogram is 3.8cm
