Question

The lengths of parallel sides of trapezium are in the ratio 7 : 5 and the distance between them is 14cm The area of trapezium is 252 cm².Find the length of its parallel sides.

  1. 21cm, 15cm    
  2. 21cm, 5cm    
  3. 20cm 5 cm    
  4. None    

hintHint:

We are given the ratio of parallel sides of a trapezium. The distance between them means height. The height is 14cm. The area of the trapezium is 252cm2. We will use the formula of area of trapezium to find the parallel sides.

The correct answer is: 21cm, 15cm


    The given quantities are as follows:
    Height = 14cm
    Area = 252cm2
    Ratio of the sides is 7:5
    Let x be the constant of proportionality of the sides.
    So, if one side is 5x, the other side will be 7x.
    The formula of area of trapezium is
    Area = 1 half × sum of parallel sides × height
    Substituting the values get,
    252 = 1 half × (7x + 5x)  × 14
    252 = 1 half × 14 × 12x
    252 = 7 × 12x
    Dividing both the sides by 7
    36 = 12x
    Rearranging the equation
    12x = 36
    Dividing both the sides by 12 we get,
    x = 3
    As value of x is 3, the length of sides will be
    5x = 5(3) = 15
    7x = 7(3) = 21
    The length of the parallel sides are 15cm and 21cm.

    For such questions, we should know the formula of area of trapezium.
