Answer 2

Answer:

Distance between two parallel sides (h) = 8.5 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Let Side of a parallelogram (b)=18 cm ,

Distance between two parallel sides = altitude = h cm

Area of the parallelogram (A) = 153 cm²

=> bh = 153 cm²

$\implies 18\: cm \times h = 153 \: cm^{2}$

$\implies h = \frac{153 \: cm^{2}}{18\:cm}$

$\implies h = \frac{17\:cm}{2}\\=8.5\:cm$

Therefore,

Distance between two parallel sides (h) = 8.5 cm
