Question

The parallel sides of a trapezium are 65m and 40m. Its non parallel sides are 39m and 56m. Find the area of the trapezium.

Answer 1

$\it\huge\mathfrak\red{Answer:-}$]

x²+h² = 56² 

(25-x)²+h² = 39² 

x²-56² = (25-x)² - 39² 

x = 224/5 

So,

h² = 56²-x² = 28224/25 

h = 168/5 

Thus,

The area is (40+65)/2 × 168/5 = 1764

x²+h² = 56² 

(25-x)²+h² = 39² 

x²-56² = (25-x)² - 39² 

x = 224/5 

So,

h² = 56²-x² = 28224/25 

h = 168/5 

Thus,

The area is (40+65)/2 × 168/5 = 1764
