The area of a field in the shape of a trapezium measures 1440sq m. The perpendicular distance between its parallel sides is 24cm. If the ratio of the sides is 5:3, the length of the longer parallel side is:
Choose the correct choice: A) 75 B) 25 C) 26 D) 76 E) 19
Explanation:   75rea of field = = 96x sq.m   96x = 1440 x = = 15   Hence, the length of longer parallel side = 5x = 75m   75nswer: 75) 75
