Question

The adjacent sides of a parallelogram are 15cm and 9cm in length. If the perpendicular distance between the shorter sides is 7cm,find the distance between the longer sides

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

( longer side ) = 12cm

S (shorter side) =9cm

D's( distance between the shorter side). ( It is also the height. I hope you got the clue…)

Anyway,

Area=9X8=72cm^2

Distance of the longer sides is

Area/the length of the longer side

72/12=6cm…

Distance between the longer sides is 6cm

Hope this helps…
