      Question

      The ratio of the length of the parallel sides of a

      trapezium is 3:2. The shortest distance between them is 15cm. If the area of the trapezium is 450cm2, the sum of the length of the parallel sides is.
      A 46cm Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      B 52cm Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      C 60cm Correct Answer Incorrect Answer
      D 68cm Correct Answer Incorrect Answer

      Solution

      Let the length of the parallel sides is 3x and 2x. Area of the trapezium = Β½ (length of parallel sides) Γ—h 450 = Β½(3x+2x) Γ—15 5x= 60 X = 12 sum of the length of the parallel sides is =3x+2x =5x =60cm
