9. One of the parallel sides of a trapezium is thricethe other and the height is half the sum of theparallel sides. If the area of the trapezium is400 cm', find the lengths of its parallel sides.​

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
