(a) The area of trapezium PQRS is 60. PQ // RS, /PQ/ = 15 cm, /RS/ = 25 cm and < PSR = 60°. Calculate the : (i) perpendicular height of PQRS ; (ii) |PS|. (b) Ade received of a sum of money, Nelly of the remainder while Austin took the rest. If Austin's share is greater than Nelly's share by N3,000, how much did Ade get?
Explanation
(a) Area of trapezium = (ii) Considering , = (b) Let the total amount to be shared = k. Ade's share = Remainder = = Nelly's share : = Austin's share : = = Ade's share = = .
