Question
The parallel sides of a trapezium are 10m and 14m. If the area of the trapezium is 130 square meter, what is the distance between the parallel sides? Convert the answer into square yards.

Area of a trapezium:
A = (b1 + b2)*h/2
where:
b1 & b2 = lengths of the parallel sides
h = height or the distance between the parallel sides
Substituting,
130 = (10+14)*h/2
260 = 24*h
h = 260/24
h = ? (units in m)
Hope this helps~ :)
