Answer:_______________




 

1)  

 The area of a trapezium is 72 cm2 and height is 6 cm. If one of its parallel sides 5 cm. Find the lenth of the other side.

Answer: 19


SOLUTION 1 :

Given,

Area of trapezium = 72 cm2 , h = 6 cm , a = 5 cm , b = .

Area of trapezium = 12 x h (a + b) 

                     72   = 1/ 2 x 6 3 x (5 + b)

                     72    = 3(5 + b)

                                  723  = 5 + b        ( dividing by 3, both sides )

                                    24 = 5 + b 

                            24 - 5 = b     ( on transposing + 5 becomes - 5 )

                                   19 = b 

Hence, length of the other side is 19 cm.

 

 

 



2)  

 The area of a trapezium is 96 cm2 and height is 12 cm. If one of its parallel sides 9 cm. Find the lenth of the other side.

Answer: 7


SOLUTION 1 :

Given,

Area of trapezium = 96 cm2 , h = 12 cm , a = 9 cm , b = .

Area of trapezium = 12 x h (a + b) 

                     96   = 1/ 2 x 12 6 x (9 + b)

                     96    = 6(9 + b)

                                  966  = 9 + b        ( dividing by 6, both sides )

                                    16 = 9 + b 

                            16 - 9 = b     ( on transposing + 9 becomes - 9 )

                                   7 = b 

Hence, length of the other side is 7 cm.

 

 

 



3)  

 The area of a trapezium is 100 cm2 and height is 10 cm. If one of its parallel sides 7 cm. Find the lenth of the other side.

Answer: 13


SOLUTION 1 :

Given,

Area of trapezium = 100 cm2 , h = 10 cm , a = 7 cm , b = .

Area of trapezium = 12 x h (a + b) 

                     100   = 1/ 2 x 10 5 x (7 + b)

                     100    = 5(7 + b)

                                  1005  = 7 + b        ( dividing by 5, both sides )

                                    20 = 7 + b 

                            20 - 7 = b     ( on transposing + 7 becomes - 7 )

                                   13 = b 

Hence, length of the other side is 13 cm.

 

 

 



4)  

 The area of a trapezium is 84 cm2 and height is 14 cm. If one of its parallel sides 6 cm. Find the lenth of the other side.

Answer: 6


SOLUTION 1 :

Given,

Area of trapezium = 84 cm2 , h = 14 cm , a = 6 cm , b = .

Area of trapezium = 12 x h (a + b) 

                     84   = 1/ 2 x 14 7 x (6 + b)

                     84    = 7(6 + b)

                                  847  = 6 + b        ( dividing by 7, both sides )

                                    12 = 6 + b 

                            12 - 6 = b     ( on transposing + 6 becomes - 6 )

                                   6 = b 

Hence, length of the other side is 6 cm.

 

 

 



5)  

 The area of a trapezium is 56 cm2 and height is 14 cm. If one of its parallel sides 6 cm. Find the lenth of the other side.

Answer: 2


SOLUTION 1 :

Given,

Area of trapezium = 56 cm2 , h = 14 cm , a = 6 cm , b = .

Area of trapezium = 12 x h (a + b) 

                     56   = 1/ 2 x 14 7 x (6 + b)

                     56    = 7(6 + b)

                                  567  = 6 + b        ( dividing by 7, both sides )

                                    8 = 6 + b 

                            8 - 6 = b     ( on transposing + 6 becomes - 6 )

                                   2 = b 

Hence, length of the other side is 2 cm.

 

 

 



6)  

 The area of a trapezium is 75 cm2 and height is 10 cm. If one of its parallel sides 5 cm. Find the lenth of the other side.

Answer: 10


SOLUTION 1 :

Given,

Area of trapezium = 75 cm2 , h = 10 cm , a = 5 cm , b = .

Area of trapezium = 12 x h (a + b) 

                     75   = 1/ 2 x 10 5 x (5 + b)

                     75    = 5(5 + b)

                                  755  = 5 + b        ( dividing by 5, both sides )

                                    15 = 5 + b 

                            15 - 5 = b     ( on transposing + 5 becomes - 5 )

                                   10 = b 

Hence, length of the other side is 10 cm.

 

 

 



7)  

 The area of a trapezium is 54 cm2 and height is 6 cm. If one of its parallel sides 6 cm. Find the lenth of the other side.

Answer: 12


SOLUTION 1 :

Given,

Area of trapezium = 54 cm2 , h = 6 cm , a = 6 cm , b = .

Area of trapezium = 12 x h (a + b) 

                     54   = 1/ 2 x 6 3 x (6 + b)

                     54    = 3(6 + b)

                                  543  = 6 + b        ( dividing by 3, both sides )

                                    18 = 6 + b 

                            18 - 6 = b     ( on transposing + 6 becomes - 6 )

                                   12 = b 

Hence, length of the other side is 12 cm.

 

 

 



8)  

 The area of a trapezium is 54 cm2 and height is 6 cm. If one of its parallel sides 7 cm. Find the lenth of the other side.

Answer: 11


SOLUTION 1 :

Given,

Area of trapezium = 54 cm2 , h = 6 cm , a = 7 cm , b = .

Area of trapezium = 12 x h (a + b) 

                     54   = 1/ 2 x 6 3 x (7 + b)

                     54    = 3(7 + b)

                                  543  = 7 + b        ( dividing by 3, both sides )

                                    18 = 7 + b 

                            18 - 7 = b     ( on transposing + 7 becomes - 7 )

                                   11 = b 

Hence, length of the other side is 11 cm.

 

 

 



9)  

 The area of a trapezium is 91 cm2 and height is 14 cm. If one of its parallel sides 9 cm. Find the lenth of the other side.

Answer: 4


SOLUTION 1 :

Given,

Area of trapezium = 91 cm2 , h = 14 cm , a = 9 cm , b = .

Area of trapezium = 12 x h (a + b) 

                     91   = 1/ 2 x 14 7 x (9 + b)

                     91    = 7(9 + b)

                                  917  = 9 + b        ( dividing by 7, both sides )

                                    13 = 9 + b 

                            13 - 9 = b     ( on transposing + 9 becomes - 9 )

                                   4 = b 

Hence, length of the other side is 4 cm.

 

 

 



10)  

 The area of a trapezium is 56 cm2 and height is 8 cm. If one of its parallel sides 5 cm. Find the lenth of the other side.

Answer: 9


SOLUTION 1 :

Given,

Area of trapezium = 56 cm2 , h = 8 cm , a = 5 cm , b = .

Area of trapezium = 12 x h (a + b) 

                     56   = 1/ 2 x 8 4 x (5 + b)

                     56    = 4(5 + b)

                                  564  = 5 + b        ( dividing by 4, both sides )

                                    14 = 5 + b 

                            14 - 5 = b     ( on transposing + 5 becomes - 5 )

                                   9 = b 

Hence, length of the other side is 9 cm.
