Question

The adjacent sides of a parallelogram are 10m and 8m. If the the distance between longer sides is 4m, find the distance between the shorter sides​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Base=10cm

height=4cm

therefore area=b×h

10×4=40 sq cm

now,

consider 8cm as base

and x as height(the distance between the shorter sides)

area=40 sq cm

so the equation is =b×h=a

8×x=40sq cm

x=40/8

x=5 cm

therefore ,the distance between the shorter sides is 5cm.

hope it helps.....

Answer 2

Answer:

Area of the llgm

= base x height

= 10 x 4

= 40

now the shorter side = 8m

area of llgm = 8 x h

40 = 8h

h = 5m

the distance between shorter side is 5m
