Question

The area of a trapezium is 24 sq.cm The distance between its parallel sides is 4 cm. If one of the parallel sides is 7 cm, what is the measure of the other parallel side?

hintHint:

Now , find the area of Trapezium =  ½ height × (sum of lengths of parallel sides).
We know the area , one of the parallel sides and height of trapezium .
Substitute them in the above area formula and obtain the length of the other parallel side.

The correct answer is: 5cm


    Ans :- 5 cm.
    Explanation :-
    Given, area of trapezium = 24 sq.cm ,the length of  parallel side is 7 cm
    Let the length of the other parallel side be x cm .
    Altitude or height = 4 cm
    Area of trapezium =1 half(height) (sum of lengths of parallel sides)
    not stretchy rightwards double arrow 24 equals 1 half left parenthesis 4 right parenthesis left parenthesis 7 plus x right parenthesis not stretchy rightwards double arrow 24 cross times 2 over 4 equals 7 plus x not stretchy rightwards double arrow 12 equals 7 plus x
    not stretchy rightwards double arrow x equals 12 minus 7 not stretchy rightwards double arrow x equals 5
    Therefore, the length of the unknown parallel side is 5 cm .
