Question

The adjacent sides of a parallelogram are 36cm and 27 cm in length. If the distance between the shooter sides is 12cm, find the distance between the longer sides.?

Answer 1

parallelogram have opposite sides same and parallel that means the distance between the opposite sides is same therefore the distance between two longer sides would be 27

Answer 2

Hii friend,

Longer sides = 36 CM

Shorter sides = 27 CM.

Distance between the shorter sides = 12 CM.

Let, the distance between the longer sides be X CM.

THEREFORE,

Area of parallelogram = ( Longer sides × Distance between the longer sides) = (Shorter side × Distance between the shorter sides).

= 36 × X = 27 × 12

X = 27×12/36 = 9 CM.

Hence,

DISTANCE BETWEEN THE LONGER SIDES = 9 CM.
