Question

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

​

Answer 1

Answer:

Solution:

Given: bigger side as base = 15 cm

Smaller side as base = 8 cm

Distance (height) between the longer sides = 4 cm

Area of Parallelogram= base (15cm) × height

= 15 × 4 = 60 cm²

Area of Parallelogram = 60 cm²

Area of Parallelogram =base( 8cm) × height

60 = 8 × height

Height = 60 /8= 15/2= 7.5 cm Hence, the Distance between the shorter sides is 7.5 cm

Answer 2

Answer:

7.5cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Because, area of ||gm= Base*Height

So, Longer side= 15cm (Height)

Distance between longer sides= 4cm (Base)

Therefore, Area= 15cm × 4cm=$60^{2}$

Now, Distance between shorter sides= Area/Short adjacent side (Base)

∴$60^{2}$ ÷ 8cm=7.5cm
