If the area of a trapezium is 28 cm2 and one of its parallel sides is 6 cm, find the other parallel side if its altitude is 4 cm.

Let the length of other parallel side of trapezium =


Length of one parallel side of trapezium =


Area of trapezium = 28 cm2


Length of altitude of trapezium = 4 cm


Area of trapezium =


28 =




Therefore the length of other parallel side of trapezium =
