Question

PQRS is a parallelogram with PQ=26cm and QR=20cm. If the distance between its longer sides is 12.5 cm. Find-
a) the are of the parallelogram
b) the distance between its shorter sides

Answer 1

Answer:

a) 325 cm²

b) 16.25 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

a) PQ = 26 cm = Base

Height = 12.5 cm

Area of Parallelogram = Base * Corresponding Height

= 26*12.5

= 325 cm²

b) Area = 325 cm²

Shorter Base = QR = 20 cm

Area = Base * Corresponding Height

=> Area / Base = Corresponding Height = Distance between shorter sides

=> 325/20 = 16.5 cm = Distance between Shorter Sides!!
