The correct Answer is:
To find the other parallel side of the trapezium-shaped field, we will use the formula for the area of a trapezium. The area \( A \) of a trapezium is given by: \[ A = \frac{1}{2} \times (a + b) \times h \] where: - \( a \) and \( b \) are the lengths of the parallel sides, - \( h \) is the height of the trapezium. Given: - Area \( A = 1920 \, m^2 \) - Height \( h = 30 \, m \) - One parallel side \( a = 40 \, m \) - The other parallel side \( b = x \) (which we need to find) ### Step 1: Substitute the known values into the area formula. \[ 1920 = \frac{1}{2} \times (40 + x) \times 30 \] ### Step 2: Simplify the equation. First, multiply both sides by 2 to eliminate the fraction: \[ 2 \times 1920 = (40 + x) \times 30 \] \[ 3840 = (40 + x) \times 30 \] ### Step 3: Divide both sides by 30. \[ \frac{3840}{30} = 40 + x \] \[ 128 = 40 + x \] ### Step 4: Solve for \( x \). Subtract 40 from both sides: \[ 128 - 40 = x \] \[ x = 88 \, m \] ### Conclusion: The length of the other parallel side is \( 88 \, m \). ---
