PQRS is a trapezuim. QR//PS, /PQ/ = 5cm, /OR/ = 6cm, /PS/ = 10cm and angle QPS = 42o. Calculate the perpendicular distance between the parallel sides
Attached Figure / Diagram
A
3.35cm
B
3.73cm
C
4.50cm
D
4.62cm
Verified Correct Answer: A.
Step-by-Step Mathematical Solution
h = ?
\(\frac{h}{5cm}\) = sin 45o
h = 5cm x 0.6691 = 3.35cm
