Detailed Solution

Let the side of the trapezium along the road be x cm.

And, The opposite parallel side = 2x m

Given, h = 100 m

Area = 10500 m2

Area of trapezium = 12 (a + b) × h
10500 = 12 (2x + x) × 100

2 × 10500 = 3x × 100

21000 = 300x

x = 70 m

So, AB = 2x = 2 × 70 = 140 m

Hence, the required length = 140 m.
