Mohan wants to buy a trapezium shaped field. It’s side along the River is parallel to and twice the side along the road.If the area of the field is 10500m*2 and the perpendicular distance between the two parallel sides is 100m, find the length of the sides along the river |

Answer» AREA of trapezium=0.5×h(a+b) let the LENGTH of the sides be x 10500m*2=0.5×100(x+2x) 10500m*2=50(x+2x) 10500m*2=50x+100x 10500m*2=150x x=10500÷150 x=70m one side is 70m and other side is 140m |
