the area of a trapezium is 594 sq. cm. The lengths of its parallel sides are in the ratio 4 : 5. The height of the trapezium is 12 cm. Find the lengths of the parallel sides.

1st side=44 cm, 2nd side= 55cm

Step-by-step explanation:

let a = '4x' , b = '5x'

h= 12cm

Area of trapezium=1/2*(a+b)h

area=594=1/2*9x*12

594*2/12=9x

594/6=9x

99=9x

99/9=11=x

therefore, 4x=4*11=44cm

             &5x=5*11=55cm
