Question : 5

Total: 40

A trapezium has two parallel sides of lengths 5cm and 9cm. If the area is 91cm $^{2}$ , find the distance between the parallel sides

Solution:

Area of Trapezium = 1/2(sum of parallel sides) * h

91 =

\frac{1}{2}

(5 + 9)h

cross multiply

91 = 7h

h =

\frac{91}{7}

h = 13cm
