Question

A parallelogram has sides of 25cm and 32cm .If the distance between the longer sides is 15cm .Find the distance between the shoter sides

Answer 1

Answer:

19.2cm

Step-by-step explanation:

base 1= 32cm

height 1= 15cm (distance between longer sides)

base 2= 25cm

height 2= ? (distance between shorter sides)

area1= base1× height1

area2= base2× height2

area1= area2 (areas of same llgm)

therefore

base1× height1= base2× height2

32cm× 15cm = 25cm × height2

height2= 32cm × 15cm / 25cm

= 19.2cm

distance between shorter sides= height2=. 19.2cm
