Answer» Step-by-step explanation: let is parallel side be X and y x =3y [One of the parallel sides of a TRAPEZIUM is thrice the other] H = ½(x + y) [height is HALF the sum of the parallel sides] area of trapezium= ½(sum of parallel sides)*height 400 =½(x + y)*½(x + y) 400 = ¼(x + y) 400 * 4 = (x + y) 1600 = x + y 1600 =3y + y 1600 = 4y 1600/4 = y 400 = y x = 3y x =3 * 400 x = 1200 |
