Question

19. The adjacent sides of a parallelogram have lengths 20 cm and 12 cm. The
distance between the two shorter sides is 5 cm. Find the area of parallelogram
and the distance between the longer sides.​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of parallelogram =base×height

= 20×5

=100

Therefore area of parallelogram =100sq.sm

Area of parallelogram =base ×height

100=12×distance between

longer side

100/12=distance between

longer side

8.3 = distance between

longer side

Therefore distance between longer side =8.3cm

Answer 2

1. area of parallelogram= b×h

=5×12=60 sq.cm. Area=20×h= 20h =20h=60 = 60/20 = 3cm
