The area of a trapezium is 31.5 cm². If the parallel sides are of length 7.5 cm and 5.3 cm, calculate the perpendicular distance between them

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the perpendicular distance between them that's the height we use the formula

where

a and b are the parallel sides of the trapezium

h is the perpendicular distance

From the question

Area = 31.5cm²

a = 7.5 cm

b = 5.3 cm

Substituting the values into the above formula we have

Divide both sides by 6.4

h = 4.921875

We have the final answer

Hope this helps you

step-by-step explanation:

stew reads at the fastest rate of 265 words per minute.

step-by-step explanation:

it's a given that felicia reads at 260 word per minute and on connie's graph we can see that she reads 200 words per minute. since stew's table tells us that he read 795 in 3 minutes, we can divide 795 by 3 to find out how many words he reads per minute.

795/3 = 265

stew reads 265 words per minute - he reads at the fastest rate since felecia reads at 260 words per minute and connie reads at 200 words per minute.

stew (265) > felecia (260) > connie (200)
