Question

Find the value of x in each of the given figures.

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Given figure is a parallelogram

Area = 144 cm²

base  * altitude = 144

16 * x = 144

x =144/16

x = 9 cm

2)2) Trapezium

Area = $\frac{a+b}{2}*h$      ; {a and b are parallel sides of trapezium}

( 37 +27 /2) * x  = 480 cm²

64/2 * h = 480

32 *  h = 480

h = 480/32

h = 15 cm
