The length of two parallel sides of a trapezium are 5cm and 7cm and the area is 120cm.sq find the distance between the parallel
1 answer:
The height or the distance between the two parallel sides of the given trapezium is 20 cm.
A trapezium or trapezoid is a two-dimensional geometric shape that has 4 sides, with one pair of parallel sides.
The parallel sides of a trapezium are called bases while the distance between them is the altitude or height.
The formula for the area of a trapezoid is given by
A = (a + b)/2 x h
where a and b are the parallel bases and h is the height.
Using this formula, the height or the distance between the two parallel sides can be computed.
A = (a + b)/2 x h
120 cm^2 = (5 cm + 7 cm) / 2 x h
120 = (12 / 2) x h
120 = 6h
h = 120 / 6
h = 20 cm

Using it's concept, it is found that the range of the function is given as follows:
.
The range of a function is the set that contains all possible output values for the function. In a graph, the range is the set that contains the values of y.
In this graph, the extremes are at y = 0 and y = 7, and the diagonal line crosses as values in this interval, as shown in the graph at the end of the answer, hence the range of the function is given as follows:
