    The length of the larger parallel side of the card is 60 cm.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Given that S is the area of the trapezium (S = 390 cm2), a is one of its smaller parallel side (a = 5), b is the larger parallel side, and h is the distance between two parallel sides (h=12 cm).

    S = (a+b) * h/2

    => b = 2S/h - a

    = 2*390 / 12 - 5

    = 60 cm
