A farmer has a field in the shape of an isosceles trapezium whose perimeter is $215\ m$. One of its non-parallel sides is $50\ m$. What is the sum of its parallel sides?
Given: A farmer has a field in the shape of an isosceles trapezium whose perimeter is $215\ m$. One of its non-parallel sides is $50\ m$.
To do: To find the sum of its parallel sides.
Solution:
As given, perimeter of field in the shape of isosceles Trapezium$=215\ m$
Length of one of its non-parallel side$=50\ m$
Length of $2nd$ non-parallel side$=50\ m$ [By property of Isosceles Trapezium]
$(Sum\ of\ non-parallel\ sides)+(sum\ of\ parallel\ sides)=215$
$\Rightarrow ( 50 + 50)+( sum\ of\ parallel\ sides)=215$
$\Rightarrow$ Sum of parallel sides $=215-100=115\ m$
Thus, the sum of its parallel sides is $115\ m$.
