  • Question
  • The difference between two parallel sides of a trapezium is 4 cm. perpendicular distance between them is 19 cm. If the area of the trapezium is 475 find the lengths of the parallel sides.


  • Options
  • A. 27 and 23
  • B. 24 and 23
  • C. 25 and 23
  • D. 22 and 23

  • Correct Answer
  • 27 and 23 

    Explanation

    Let the two parallel sides of the trapezium be a cm and b cm. 

    Then, a - b = 4 

    And,  1 2 × a + b × 19 = 475 = > a + b = 50  

    Solving (i) and (ii), we get: a = 27, b = 23. 

    So, the two parallel sides are 27 cm and 23 cm.
