Question

The area of a trapezium is 35cm2.find its altitude if the bases is 6cm and 8cm​

Answer 1

Answer: altitude: 5 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

`\sf (1)/(2) ( a + b) h = Area \ of \ trapezium`

[ a and b are bases, h is the altitude ]

Here given:

• Area = 35

• a = 6

• b = 8

• h = ?

Solve for altitude:

`\sf \rightarrow \sf (1)/(2) ( 6 + 8) h = 35 \ \ \ \Rightarrow \ \ \ (1)/(2) ( 14) h = 35 \ \ \ \ \Rightarrow \ \ \ \ 7 h = 35 \ \ \ \ \Rightarrow \ \ h = (35)/(7) \ = \ 5`
