Q:

The area of a field in the shape of a trapezium measures 1440sq m. The perpendicular distance between its parallel sides is 24cm. If the ratio of the sides is 5:3, the length of the longer parallel side is:

A) 75	B) 85
C) 95	D) 105

Answer & Explanation Answer: A) 75

Explanation:

Area of field = $\frac{1}{2} * (5 x + 3 x) * 24$ = 96x sq.m

96x = 1440 => x = $\frac{1440}{96}$ = 15

Hence, the length of longer parallel side = 5x = 75m
