The area of a trapezium is 34 cm2 and the length of one of the parallel sides is 10 cm and its height is 4 cm. Find the length of the other parallel side.

Area of Trapezium = 1/2 × (Sum of Length of Parallel Side) × Distance Between Them


∴ Area of trapezium = 1/2 × (a + b) × h = 34 cm2


Here, a = 10cm, h = 4cm, b = length of another parallel Side 


∴ 1/2 × (10 + b) × 4 = 34


b = 7 cm
