  1. Rs. 38 are spent for mowing = 1 sq.m.
    Re. 1 is spent for mowing = 1/38 sq.m.
    Rs. 28,500 are spent for mowing
    = 28,500/ 38
    = 750 sq.m.
    So, area of trapezium is 750 sq.m.
    As we know,
    Area of trapezium = 1/2 (sum of parallel sides) ( height)
    750 = 1/2 (24+36) (height)
    750 = 60/2 (height)
    750 = 30 (height)
    => Height = 750/30 = 25m
    Therefore, distance between the parallel sides or height is equal to 25 m
