    Question

    Let 30 cm and 18 cm be the lengths of the two parallel sides of a trapezium and 24 cm be distance between these two sides. If the area of this trapezium is equal to the area of a square, then the perimeter of the square will be:

    A.

    87 cm

    B.

    66 cm

    C.

    96 cm

    D.

    75 cm

    Correct option is C

    Given:
    30 cm and 18 cm be the lengths of the two parallel sides of a trapezium
    24 cm be distance between these two sides
    Formula Used:
     Area of Trapezium =12×(a+b)×h= \frac{1}{2} ×(a+b)×h  

    Area of square = a2a^2  ( where a is the side of square)

    Perimeter of square = 4a

    ​Solution:
    a=30cm
    b=18 cm
    h=24 cm
    Area=12×(30+18)×24 =12×48×24 =24×24 =576cm2Area=\frac{1}{2}×(30+18)×24 \\\ \\= \frac{1}{2} ×48×24 \\\ \\=24×24 \\\ \\=576cm^2​​
    So, the area of the trapezium is 576 cm².
    The area of trapezium is equal to the area of a square, we can set up the equation:
    Area of Square= 576 cm2^2 

    Let the side of the square = a 

    According to the question,

    a2a^2​=576 
    a=√576= 24cm
    The perimeter of a square with side length s is given by:
    Perimeter=4×a
    Perimeter =4×24
    = 96 cm
