Answered by admin @



Let the length of the field along the road be l m. Hence, the length of the field along the river will be 2l m.

Area of trapezium = 1/2(Sum of parallel sides) (Distance between the parallel sides)

10500m*2= 1/2(l+2l)(100m)
105m=3l/2
l=70m
Thus, length of the field along the river = (2 × 70) m = 140 m
