The area of the trapezium above is 22 cm².
What is the value of x ?

Answer:
4cm
Step-by-step explanation:
Given area= 22cm²
Height =4cm
Parallel sides = xcm and 7cm
Area of trapezium = ½( sum of parallel sides) x height
22cm² = ½(xcm+7cm)×4cm
22cm²= ½ ( x+7)cm x 4cm
opening the bracket
22cm²= 4x+28/ 2
cross multiply
44cm²=4x+28
4x=44-28
4x=16
x=4cm
