Question 1 Report

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

4 cm

6 cm

7 cm

Answer Details

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
