ABCD is trapezium in which AB is parallel to DC and AB=70 DC=50 if P and Q are respectively mid point of AD and BC prove that PQ=60 cm
Are of trapezium DCQP=9/11 AR of trapezium ABQP

Expert Answer
Figure shows the trapezium as given in the question. Let us join BD.
In ΔADB, P is midpoint of side AD. A line drawn through the mid point side AD parallel to base AB meets opposite side BD at R,
so that DR = RB and PR = (1/2)AB . Hence PR = 35 cm.
Similarly , QR is parallel to CD and Q is a mid point of BC. Hence QR = (1/2)CD = 25 cm
Hence PQ = PR+RQ = 35+25 = 60 cm
since P and Q are midpoints of non-parallel sides of trapezium, distance between parallel lines CD and PQ is same as
distance between parallel lines PQ and AB.
area of trapezium DCQP = (1/2)h(60+50) = 55h
area of trapezium ABQP = (1/2)h(60+70) = 65h
area of trapezeium DCQP = (11/13) area of trapezium ABQP
