Question

the parallel sides of a trapezium are in the ratio 6:7 and the distance between them is 12.5 cm.find the lenghts of sides if the area is 6.50m2​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

let the parallel sides are 6x,7x

h=12.5

area of trapezium=1/2x12.5x(6x+7x)

6.50=1/2x12.5x(13x)

6.50x2=162.5x

x=13/162.5

x=.08

so parallel sides are 6x.08=.48

7x.08=.56
