उत्तर
Perpendicular distance between two parallel sides = 100 m
Area of field = 10500 m2
Let the length of the side along the road = x
The length of the side along the river = 2x
Area of trapezium = 12 × (first side + second side) × perpendicular distance
10500 = `1/2` (x + 2x) × 100
10500 = 3x × 50
`x = 10500/(50×3)`
x = 70
Therefore, length of the side along the river = 2x
= 2 × 70
= 140 m
