Question

the adjacent sides of a parallelogram are 15 cm and 9 CM in length is the perpendicular distance between the shorter sides is 7 cm find the distance between the longer sides​

Answer 1

Answer:

Distance between longer side will be 4.2 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Since, Area of parallelogram =side*height

So, Area =9*7=63 square cm

Again apply area formula along longer side. Since area remains same so,

Area=side*height

63=15*height

So height=63/15=4.2cm

Hence the required perpendicular distance along longer side will be 4.2 cm.

Answer 2

Answer:

15 cm+9 cm - 7 cm = 17 cm

Step-by-step explanation: because see they have asked you about the adjacent sides of a parallelogram and also they have asked the distance between the longer sides
