area of trapezium is 267square mt.parallel sides are 6m and 30m non parallel sides is 2m less then other find the length of non parallel sides.find the length of non parallel side
Reiny that's crap
To find the length of the non-parallel sides of a trapezium, we can use the formula for the area of a trapezium:
Area = (1/2) * (sum of parallel sides) * (height)
In this case, we are given the area of the trapezium as 267 square meters, one parallel side as 6 meters, and the other parallel side as 30 meters. We also know that the non-parallel sides are 2 meters less than the other side.
Let's denote the length of the non-parallel side as "x". Since the other parallel side is 30 meters, the length of the non-parallel side would be x - 2 meters.
Now, we can substitute the given values into the area formula:
267 = (1/2) * (6 + 30) * (x + x - 2)
Simplifying this equation:
267 = 18 * (2x - 2)
Dividing both sides by 18:
14.8333 ≈ (2x - 2)
Adding 2 to both sides:
16.8333 ≈ 2x
Dividing both sides by 2:
8.4166 ≈ x
So, the length of the non-parallel side of the trapezium is approximately 8.42 meters.
