Question

The adjacent sides of a parallelogram are 30 cm and 24 cm. If the
perpendicular distance between the shorter sides is 12 cm, what is the
distance between the longer sides?
​

Answer 1

Answer:

9.6

Step-by-step explanation:

take the perpendicular distance as the height and the smaller side as base then the area by the formula 1/2*base*height is 144.

Now for the same triangle take the bigger side as the base and the perpendicular distance to be found as the height and then the area should be the same and hence by solving we get it as 9.6
