Find the length of the other parallel side Drawing a diagram 0 cm 6 cm a b h 0 = ( 0 + b) 6 0 = 3 0 + b Area of a trapezium = ( + ) ( ) 40 = 0 + b b = 30cm b Click here to read the question again
Question 4 A kite of area 6cm has one diagonal 4 cm shorter than the other. Find the length of each diagonal. Click here to read the solution to this question
Solution to question 4 A kite of area 6cm has one diagonal 4 cm shorter than the other. Find the length of each diagonal. First draw a diagram x 4 x Let the length of the longer diagonal be x cm. Therefore the length of the shorter diagonal is x 4 cm. Area of kite = the product of the diagonals 6 = x( x 4) = x 4x 0 = x 4x product = sum = 4 factors = 6, 0 = x 6x + x x ( x 6) + ( x 6) ( x )( x + ) 0 = 0 = 6 either x 6 = 0 or x + = 0 x = 6 x = (not possible) Therefore the lengths of the diagonals are x = 6 cm or x 4 = 6 4 = cm.
