A trapezium has two parallel sides of lengths 5cm and 9cm. If the area is 91cm2 , find the distance between the parallel sides

A.

13 cm

B.

4 cm

C.

6 cm

D.

7 cm

Correct Answer: 13 cm

Explanation

Area of Trapezium = 1/2(sum of parallel sides) * h 91 = 1/2 (5 + 9)h cross multiply 91 = 7h h = 91/7 h = 13 cm

Area of Trapezium = 1/2(sum of parallel sides) * h 91 = 1/2 (5 + 9)h cross multiply 91 = 7h h = 91/7 h = 13 cm
