The area of a trapezium is 480 cm2, the distance between two parallel sides is 15 cm and one of the parallel side is 20 cm. The other parallel side is:
Options:
20 cm
34 cm
44 cm
50 cm
Correct Answer:
44 cm
Explanation:
Area of trapezium = \(\frac{1}{2}\) × h (a + b) a=20 cm, h = 15 cm, Area = 480 sq.cm 480 = \(\frac{1}{2}\) × (15) (20 + b) 20 + b = \(\frac{480×2 }{15}\) 20 + b = 64 b = 44cm
