Calculate the perimeter of the trapezium PQRS
24cm
36cm
48cm
72cm
520cm
Correct answer is C
Using Pythagora's rule for △PSM
Hyp2 = Opp2 + Adj2
52 = Opp2 + 42
→ Opp2 = 25 - 16
→ Opp = √9 = 3
base SR = 18 + 3 = 21
base PQ = 18
side PS = 5
side QR = 4
perimeter of the trapezium PQRS = 21 + 18 + 5 + 4 = 48cm
