the area of a trapezium is 240 cm² 97 the parallel side is 24 and 36 cm long find the distance between them.

 8 cm

Work Shown:

Let's solve for h in the formula below

A = 0.5*h*(b1+b2)

240 = 0.5*h*(24+36)

240 = 0.5*60*h

240 = 30h

30h = 240

h = 240/30

h = 8

The height of the trapezium is 8 cm. This is the distance between the two parallel sides.

step-by-step explanation:   divide the numerator by the denominator to get the decimal

it would still be 193

if divide by 100 then 1.93
