Question 4: Find x for each trapezium.
(a)
Area = 36cm
8cm
4cm

x = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

The area (A) of a trapezium is calculated as

A = h (a + b)

where h is the perpendicular height and a, b the parallel bases

Here A = 36, h = 4, a = x and b = 8, thus

× 4 × (x + 8) = 36

2(x + 8) = 36 ( divide both sides by 2 )

x + 8 = 18 ( subtract 8 from both sides )

x = 10

Step-by-step explanation:

hello :

the area is : A= (b+B)h/2

when : b =8cm      B=x         h=4cm        A= 36cm²

(8+x)(4)/2 = 36   means :2(8+x) = 36

16+2x = 36   so : 2x =36 -16 =20 cm

x=10cm
