Question

PQRS is a parallelogram with PQ = 26 cm and QR = 20 cm. If the distance between its longer sides
is 12,5 cm, find
(i) the area of the parallelogram,
(ii) the distance between its shorter sides​

Answer 1

Answer:

given that

In PQRS parallelogram,

PQ=26cm

QR=20cm

distance between longer sides =12.5cm (i) Area of parallelogram=base xheight cm^2

PQxh.

=26x12.5

=325 cm^2

(ii)Area of parallelogram=basexheight

height=Area/base

distance b/wshorterside=325/20

=65/4 =16.25cm
