Question

the adjacent sides of a parallelogram are 10cm and 8cm if the perpendicular distance between the smaller sides is 6cm, the distance between the greater side is?

Answer 1

consider 8cm as the base.
and the distance between the smaller sides i.e.6 cm as height.
Area of a parallelogram=base*height
=b*h
=8cm*6 cm
=64√cm
now,
consider 10cm as the base.
x as height
area=64√cm
so the equation=base*height=area
=10cm× x=64√cm
x=64/10
x=6•4cm
therefore the distance between the greater sides is 6•4 cm.

Answer 2

Answer:

4.8

Step-by-step explanation:

Take 8 as the base and 6 as the height.

Now calculate the area -

8*6=48

Now to get the greater side we will have dived

48/10=4.8

This is a verified answer.

Hope it helps you!
