The ratio of the length of the parallel sides of a trapezium is 5:3 and the distance betweenthem is 16cm. If the area of the trapezium is 960 cm”, find the length of the parallel sides.​

Answer»

Answer:

let the sides = 5x 3x

distance between them = 16cm

Area of TRAPEZIUM = 960

area of trapezium = 1/2 × (sum of parallel lines) × height

960 = 1/2 × (5x + 3x) × 16

960 = 8X + 8

952 = 8x

119 = x

therefore 5x = 5 × 119 = 595

3x = 3 × 119 = 357
