Mohan wants to buy a trapezium shaped field. Its side along the river is parallel to and twice the side along the road. If the area of this field is 10500 m2 and the perpendicular distance between the two parallel sides is 100 m, find the length of the side along the river.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

Area=1/2*sum of parallel sides*distance between them.
105=1/2(x+2x)
210=3x
x=70m
side along the river = 2x=2*70=140.
