Question

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

Answer 1

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

Answer 2

Hi !

Area of the parallelogram = base x height
= 10 x 4
= 40 m^2
--------------------------------------------------------------
Shorter side = 8 m

Area of parallelogram = 8 x h
40 = 8h
h = 5 m

Distance between the shorter sides = 5 meter
