Dominique Howard · Answer 1

12 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of trapezium

½ * (sum of / / sides) * h

45 = ½ (6 + x) * 5

6 + x = 18

x = 12

Litzy Gutierrez · Answer 2

x=12

Step-by-step explanation:

A = (6+x) * 5/2=45

so (6+x) * 5=45*2=90

6+x=90/5

6+x=18

x=18-6

x=12

The area of a trapezium is 45 cm2and the perpendicular distancebetween its parallel sides is 5 cm. If the length of one of its parallel sides is6cm, find the length of the other parallel side.
