Question

The parallel sides of a trapezium are
$6 \frac{1}{2} \: cm \: and \: 5 \frac{1}{2} cm$
The distance between them is
$2 \frac{2}{3} \: cm$
Find the side of a square which has the same area as the trapezium.
​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a trapezium=21×(Sum of parallel sides)×distance between them.

=21×(21.5+23.5)×14

=45×7=315sq.cms

∴Area of a trapezium=315sq.cms
