Question

The sum of the length of parallel sides of a trapezium is 24m and area of this

trapezium is 192m2. Find the distance between its parallel sides.​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

area of trapezium=1/2×sum of parallel sides ×distance between parallel sides

192m^2=1/2×24×distance between parallel sides

192=12×distance between parallel sides

192/12=distance between parallel sides

16m=distance between parallel sides

Answer 2

Area of a trapezium = 192

Sum of parellel side = 24

Area of trapezium =

½ × height × sum of parellel sides

192= ½ ×height × 24

height =

$\frac{192 \times 2}{24}$

height = 16m²

$\: \: \: \: \: = \sqrt{16}$

$= 4m$
