Question

The area of trapezium is 440 $c{m}^2$. The lengths of the parallel sides are respectively 10cm and 14cm. Find the distance between them.

Answer 1

Area of trapezium = $\left(\frac{1}{2}\right)$ $\times$ (sum of parallel sides) $\times$ h
Or, $440=\frac{1}{2}\times (10+14)\times h$
Or, $440=\frac{1}{2}\times 24\times h$
Or, 440 = 12 h
Or, $\frac{110}{3}cm=h$
