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.

Answer 1

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~ :)
