Question

Find the value of x in each of the given figures.

Answer 1

Explanation:

1) Given figure is a parallelogram

Area = 144 cm²

base * altitude = 144

16 * x = 144

x =144/16

x = 9 cm

2)2) Trapezium

Area =
`(a+b)/(2)*h` ; {a and b are parallel sides of trapezium}

( 37 +27 /2) * x = 480 cm²

64/2 * h = 480

32 * h = 480

h = 480/32

h = 15 cm
