Question

The area of trapezium is 1080cm².If the lengths of its parallel sides are 55.6cm and 34.4cm.find the distance between them

​

Answer 1

24 cm

Explanation:

area = (b1 + b2)h/2,

where b1 and b2 are the lengths of the parallel sides, called the bases, and h is the distance between the parallel sides, called the height.

1080 = (55.6 + 34.4)h/2

2160 = 90h

h = 2160/90

h = 24

Answer: 24 cm
