Question

a parallelgram has sides of 20 cm and 15 cm and the perpendicular distance between the sides is 18cm. Find the distance between 15 cm side.​

Answer 1

Answer:

● Answer -

x = 24 cm

◆ Explanation -

Given that adjacent sides of parallelogram are 20 cm and 15 cm.

We know formula for area of parallelogram -

Area of parallelogram = base × altitude

20 × 18 = 15 × x

x = 20 × 18 / 15

x = 4 × 18 / 3

x = 4 × 6

x = 24 cm

Therefore, perpendicular distance from side of 15 cm is 24 cm.

Answer 2

$\bf{\underline{Question:-}}$

a parallelgram has sides of 20 cm and 15 cm and the perpendicular distance between the sides is 18cm. Find the distance between 15 cm side.

$\bf{\underline{Solution:-}}$

• Given that Adjacent sides of parallelogram are 20 cm and 15 cm.

$\bf{\underline{FORMULA:-}}$

• Area of parallelogram = base × altitude

→ 20 × 18 = 15 × x

→ x = 20 × 18 / 15

→ x = 4 × 18 / 3

→ x = 4 × 6

→ x = 24 cm

Therefore,

• perpendicular distance from side of 15 cm is 24 cm.
