Question
The area of a trapezium shaped field is 600 m2, the distance between two parallel sides is 15 m and one of the parallel side is 20 m. Find the length of the other parallel side.
Answer: Option C
:
C
Let the length of the other parallel side be a.
Given, one of the sides is 20 m and thedistance between two parallel sides is 15 m.
The area of trapezium is given by
=12× Sum of the length of the two parallel sides × Distance between the two parallel sides.
Hence,
600 = 12 (a + 20)× 15
a + 20= 80
a = 80 – 20 = 60
Hence, the length of the other parallel side = 60 m
