Let the sides of trapezium be 5k and 3k, respectively According to the question, (1/2) x [(5k + 3k) x 12] = 384? 8k = (384 x 2)/12 = 64 ? k = 64/8 = 8 cmLength of smaller of the parallel sides = 8 x 3 = 24 cm
Let the diagonal of one square be (2d) cmThen, diagonal of another square = d cm? Area of first square = [ 1/2 x (2d)2] cm2Area of second square = (1/2 x d2) cm2? Ratio of area = (2d)2/ d2= 4/1 = 4: 1
