Answer/Step-by-step explanation:
Area of trapezium = ½*(AD + BC)*AB
Area = 42 cm²
AD = (x + 8) cm
BC = (x + 5) cm
AB = x cm
Plug in the values into the equation
42 = ½((x + 8) + (x + 5))*x
42 = ½((x + 8 + x + 5)*x
42 = ½(2x + 13)*x
Multiply both sides by 2
42*2 = (2x + 13)*x
84 = 2x² + 13x
2x² + 13x = 84
Subtract both sides by 84
2x² + 13x - 84 = 0

Original Perimeter = 2.5 + 2.5 + 1.5 + 1.5 = 8
The longer dimension is 2.5 as 2.5 > 1.5To make 2.5 into 10, we must multiply by 4For the smaller length, we must also multiply by 41.5 x 4 = 6
New Perimeter = 10 + 10 + 6 + 6 = 32
Now find the difference between the old and the new perimeter32 - 8 = 24
