Solve this The area of a trapezium shaped field is 480m^2 , the distance between two parallel sides is 15m and one of the parallel side is 20m. Find the other parallel side.

=> distance(height) between ll sides=15m
=> length of one ll side=20m
Let the other parallel side be x.
we know that,
Area of trapezium=1/2×h(sum of parallel sides)
=> 480m^2=1/2×15m×(20m+x)
=> 480m^2×2/1×15m=20m+x
=> 960m^2/15m=20m+x
=> 64m=20m+x
=> 64m-20m=x
=> 44m=x
=> x=44m
so,the lenth of other parallel side=44m
hope this helps
