Area = 1785 sq feet
Distance between the two parallel sides (height) = 35 feet
Length of one of the parallel sides = 42 feet
Formula used:
Area (Trapezium) =
Calculation:
Let's put the values in the formula,
1785 = \(\frac{1}{2}\) x 35 x (42 + s)
102 = 42 + s
s = 102 - 42
s = 60
The other side of the trapezium is 60 feet in length.
Hence, the correct answer is option 1).
