  • Question
  • The cross section of a canal is a trapezium in shape . If the canal is a trapezium in shape. If the canal is 10 meters wide at the top and 6 meters wide at bottom and the area of cross section is 640 sq. meters The depth of canal is?


  • Options
  • A. 40 meters
  • B. 80 meters
  • C. 160 meters
  • D. 384 meters

  • Correct Answer
  • 80 meters 

    Explanation

    Cross section area = 1/2 x ( a + b ) x d
    where a and b are the parallel sides, d is the perpendicular distance between them.
    ? 1/2 x ( a + b ) x d = 640
    ? d = (640 x 2) / 16 = 80m
