Thread: Trapez-Trouble

Hello friend.
I need to find the area of the trapez (from the leaning line and down).
Obviously I need to find out how wide it is, but I'm not sure how since I can not come up with anything clever.
Help me out here: How do I find X?

God aften eller hej ,

the area A of a trapezium is calculated by where a and c denote the parallel sides and h the perpendicular distance of the parallels.

With your values the area is



In fact the value of 63.43° is not necessary. Maybe there is an information missing where you need to know the value of this angle?

Hello, Enjubi!
