Area of parallelogram

= base × height

=27×12cm

= 324cm2

Area = b×h

324=36×h

36/324=h h= 9 cm

Answer 2

Distance between the shorter sides= 12 cm. Let the distance between the longer side be X cm. Area of the parallelogram = ( Longer side × Distance between the longer side ) = ( Shorter side × Distance
