Question

the ratio of lengths of the parallel sides is5:3.the distance between them is 16cm .if the area of the trapezium is 960cm²,find the lengths of parallel sides​

Answer 1

$\huge\underbrace\mathfrak \red{ANSWER }$

Let the sides be 5x and 3x.

Given

height=16cm

area=960 cm

960=1/2×16×(5x+3x)

960=8×8x

64x=960

x=960/64

x=15

The parallel sides are 45 and 75.
