Question

If the area of a trapezium is $80sqcm$ and sum of parallel sides is $20cm$, find its height.

Answer 1

The area of trapezium is given as $80c{m}^2$ with the sum of its parallel sides as $20cm$.

Let $h$ be the height of the trapezium, then,

$A=\frac{1}{2}\left(sumoftheparallelsides\right)\times h$

$80=\frac{1}{2}\left(20\right)\times h$

$h=8cm$

Therefore, the height of the trapezium is $8cm$.
