The area of a trapezium is 34 cm² and the length of one of the parallel sides is 10 cm and its height is 4cm. Find the length of the other parallel side
Solution:
Area of the trapezium ABCD = 1/2 × (Sum of parallel side) × Distance between its parallel sides
34 = 1/2 × (AB + CD) × 4 cm
34 = 1/2 × (10 cm + a) × 4 cm
34 = 2(10 cm + a)
34/2 = 10 cm + a
17 = 10 cm + a
a = 17 cm − 10 cm = 7 cm
Thus, the length of the other parallel side is 7 cm
