Madhya Pradesh Police Exam Model Paper 8

Given:
Area of trapezium $=350{\mathit{m}}^2$
Two parallel side are 25 m and 10 m
Formula used:
Area of trapezium = (1/2) × (Sum of Parallel sides) × (Distance between Parallel sides)
Calculation:
Let d is the distance between 2 parallel sides
Area of trapezium = (1/2) × (Sum of Parallel sides) × (Distance between Parallel sides)
$\Rightarrow 350=\left(1/2\right)\times \left(25+10\right)\times \mathit{d}$
$\Rightarrow 700=35\times \mathit{d}$
$\Rightarrow \mathit{d}=20\mathit{m}$
∴ Distance between two parallel sides is 20 m.
