Question

the other, find the two parallel sides.
The area of a trapezium is 300 m². The perpendicular distance between the two parallel sides is 15 m. I
the difference of the parallel sides is 16 m, find the length of the parallel sides.
​

Answer 1

Answer:

28m and 12m.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know, Area of trapezium:

$\frac{1}{2} \times (sum \: of \: ll \: sides) \times altitude$

Therefore,

300=1/2×(x + x-16)×15

or, 2x-16 = (300×2)/15

or, 2x-16 = 40

or, 2x. = 56

or, x. = 28.

So, the 2 parallel sides are 28m and (28-16)m=12m respectively.
