Question

The parallel sides of a trapezium are 25cm and 35cm. If the area of the trapezium is 540cm²,find the distance between the two parallel sides.

Answer 1

Answer:

area of trapezium = 1/2 × h (a + b)

540= 1/2 x h × (25 + 35)

540=1/2 × h × 60

h = 540 × 2= 1080

h= 1080/80

h= 18

Step-by-step explanation:

hope it helps

Answer 2

Answer:

18cm

Step-by-step explanation:

area=[(a+b)/2]h

540=[(25+35)/2]h

540=(60/2)h

540=30h

18=h
