Let the parallel sides be 3a and 5a.So Area of trapezium = 1/2 x sum of parallel side x perpendicular distance between them.? 1/2 (3a +5a) x 12 = 384? 8a = 64? a =8? Smaller side = 3x = 3 x 8 = 24 cm.
Let base = b and altitude = h Then, Area = b x h But New base = 110b / 100 = 11b / 10Let New altitude = HThen, Decrese = (h - 10h /11 )= h / 11? Required decrease per cent = (h/11) x (1 / h ) x 100 %= 91/11 %
