Question

A parallelogram has sides 12 cm and 9 cm. If the
perpendicular distance between its shorter sides is 8
cm, find the altitude along its longer side.

Answer 1

Answer:

6 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

given that

length of longer side l =12 cm

length of shorter side b =8 CM

distance between longer sides h1=?

distance between shorter sides h1=8 CM

SOLUTION:

we know that

area of a parallelogram = length of side× distance between opposite sides

that is here,

l ×h1=b×h2

12 ×h1=9×8

h1 =6 CM

thus the distance between longer sides h1 =6 CM .
