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:

A parallelogram has side 12cm and 9cm, if the distance between it is 8cm find the distance between its larger side?

l( longer side ) = 12cm

S (shorter side) =9cm

D's( distance between the shorter side). ( It is also the height. I hope you got the clue…)

Anyway,

Area=9X8=72cm^2

Distance of the longer sides is

Area/the length of the longer side

72/12=6cm…

Distance between the longer sides is 6cm

Hope this helps…
