Answer»

Question :

The AREA of a trapezium is 1824 cm². If the length of its parallel sides are 55 cm and 59 cm, FIND the distance between them.

Answer :

\sf\pink{Given:}

  • Area of Trapezium is 1824 cm² .

  • Length of one of the parallel SIDE is 55 cm.

  • Length of the other parallel side is 59 cm.

\sf\pink{To\:find:}

  • Distance between the parallel side in short height .

Explanation :

\sf\red{Area\:of\:Trapezium = \dfrac{1}{2}\times ( a + <klux>B</klux> )\times h )}

  • a + b mean sum of parallel sides .

\\ \longrightarrow\sf{ 1824 = \dfrac{1}{2}\times ( 55 + 59 )\times h}

\\ \longrightarrow\sf{1824 =  \dfrac{1}{2}\times 114\times h}

\\ \longrightarrow\sf{ 1824 = 57\times h}

\\ \longrightarrow\sf{ h = \dfrac{1824}{57}}

\\ \longrightarrow\sf{ h = 32}

  • THEREFORE the height or the distant between the parallel sides of the Trapezium is 32 cm .
