Question

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

$\longrightarrow 20 × 18 = 15 × x$

$\longrightarrow20 × \frac{18}{15}$

$\longrightarrow4×\frac{18}{3}$

$\longrightarrow \: x = 4 \times 6$

$\longrightarrow x = 24 cm$

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

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

◆ 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

\longrightarrow 20 × 18 = 15 × x⟶20×18=15×x

\longrightarrow20 × \frac{18}{15}⟶20×

15

18

\longrightarrow4×\frac{18}{3}⟶4×

3

18

\longrightarrow \: x = 4 \times 6⟶x=4×6

\longrightarrow x = 24 cm⟶x=24cm

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