The parallel sides of a trapezium are in the ratio of 2 ∶ 5 and the distance between parallel sides is 10 cm. If the area of trapezium is 350 cm^{2}, then the lengths of parallel sides are (in cm) ______
Solution:
Concept:Area of a trapezium.Explanation:We are given a trapezium where the parallel sides are in the ratio 2:5. Let the lengths of these parallel sides be cm and cm, respectively. The distance between these parallel sides (which is the height of the trapezium) is given as cm. The area of the trapezium is given as cm.The formula for the area of a trapezium is:Substituting the given values and our assumed lengths:To find the value of , we divide both sides by 35:Now we can find the lengths of the parallel sides:Length of the first parallel side = cm.Length of the second parallel side = cm.Answer:The lengths of the parallel sides are 20 cm and 50 cm.
