Question

the adjacent sides of a parallelogram are 15cm and 8cm. if the distsnce between the longer sides is 4cm find the distance between the shorter sides​

Answer 1

Answer:

7.5 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

the adjacent sides of a parallelogram are 15cm and 8cm. if the distance between the longer sides is 4cm

To Find:

distance between the shorter sides​

Solution:

Bigger side= 15 cm.

Smaller side = 8 cm

h = 4 cm

Area of Parallelogram= base * height

==> 15 × 4

=> 60 cm²

Area of Parallelogram = base × height

60 = 8 × height

Height = 60 /8

==> 15/2

==> 7.5 cm.

Result :

Distance between the shorter sides is 7.5 cm

Answer 2

Answer:

7.5 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

$<font color=red>$

GIVEN:

THE ADJACENT SIDES OF THE PARALLELOGRAM ARE

15 CM AND CM.

LONGER SIDE =15 CM

SHORTER SIDE =8 CM.

DISTANCE BETWEEN LONGER SIDES=4 CM.

AREA OF PARALLELOGRAM:

BY TAKE LONGER SIDE AS BASE.

$b \times h = 15 \times 4 = 60 \: {cm}^{2}$

NOW TO FIND DISTANCE BETWEEN SHORTER SIDES.

AREA OF PARALLELOGRAM BY TAKING SHORTER SIDE AS BASE:

$60 = 8 \times h \\ \\ = > h = \frac{60}{8} = 7.5 \: cm$
