Question

The adjacent sides of a parallelogram are 36 cm and 27cm in length if the perpendicular distance between the shorter side is 12 cm find the distance between the longer side

Answer 1

Base = 27 cm
Height = 12 cm
Area of parallelogram = base ×height
=27×12 cm²
324cm²

Now for finding the distance between longer height.

Base=36cm
Height =?

Area of parallelogram = base × height
324cm²= 36cm× h
324cm²/36cm= h
9cm = height
