Let length of rectangular field = 5y,so width = 4y.From question5y - 4y = 20m? x = 20m ? Length = (5 x 20)m = 100 mBreadth = (4 x 20) m = 80 m ? Perimeter = 2 (100 + 80 ) m = 360 m
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
