A trapezoidal piece of land has parallel sides 438 m and 576 m respectively. The non - parallel sides are 290 m and 354 m. This lot is to be divided in to 2 parts in the ratio 2:3 by a line parallel to the parallel sides, the smaller part to be adjacent to the smaller parallel side Compute the length of the dividing line.
