Given:

  • Trapezium

To find:

  • Length of BC
  • Value of "x"

Solution:

We can divide the given shape into a triangle and a rectangle.

We'll have to use Pythagoras Theorem.


\large\boxed{Formula:{a}^(2)={b}^(2)+{c}^(2)}

In this question we have to find the hypotenuse so we'll have to add.

Let's substitute the values according to the formula.


BC= {6}^(2)+{7}^(2)


BC= 85


BC = √( 85)


\boxed{BC=9.22 \: cm}

Now, we can find the value of "x"

  • Adjacent= 7 cm
  • Opposite= 6 cm
  • Hypotenuse= 9.22 cm

We can use any one from SOHCAHTOA.

Here I'm using tan.


\large\boxed{Formula: tan(a)= (opp)/(adj)}

Let's substitute the values according to the formula.


tan \: x= (6)/(7)

We'll have to use tan inverse.


x= {tan}^(-1)((6)/(7))


\boxed{x=40.6°}
