Q:
      
      
         
            
The difference between two parallel sides of a trapezium is 4 cm. perpendicular distance between them is 19 cm. If the area of the trapezium is 475 find the lengths of the parallel sides.
         
       
      
      
      
          
      
      
          Answer & Explanation
         Answer: A) 27 and 23         
         
Explanation: Let the two parallel sides of the trapezium be a cm and b cm. 
Then, a - b = 4 
And,  
Solving (i) and (ii), we get: a = 27, b = 23. 
So, the two parallel sides are 27 cm and 23 cm.
