Answer 1

Let the other length be x

Answer 2

Answer:

The distance of the given side from its opposite side is 8.5 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given information: One side of a parallelogram is 18 cm and area of parallelogram is 153.

The area of a parallelogram is

$A=b\times h$

Where b is base and h is height.

Let the base of parallelogram is 18 and the distance of the given side from its opposite side is h.

$153=18\times h$

$\frac{153}{18}=h$

$8.5=h$

Therefore the distance of the given side from its opposite side is 8.5 cm.
