have a nice day.

Answer 2

Answer:

10cm and 6cm respectively

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the parallel sides be 5x and 3x

Height = 16cm,

A.T.Q,

Area of trapezium = 128cm²

1/2 x height (p1 + p2) = 128cm²

1/2 x 16cm (5x + 3x) = 128cm²

8cm x 8x = 128cm²

64xcm = 128cm²

x = 128cm²/64cm

x = 2cm

p1 = 5 x 2cm = 10cm

p2 = 3 x 2cm = 6cm

Hence the sides are 10cm and 6cm
