Question

The adjacent side of a parallelogram are 7.5m and 4m . If the distance between the longer sides is 2cm,find the distance between the shorter sides.

Answer 1

Area of parallelogram=base×heigh

Area of parallelogram= 7.5 × 2

Let distance between shorter line = x

Also area of parallelogram =4 × x

7.5 × 2 = 4 × x

15 = 4x

x = 15 /4

x = 3.75
