Question

The adjacent sides of a parallelogram are 8.5 cm and15.5 cm. If the distance between the longer side is 4cm . Find the area of the parellelogram .

Answer 1

Answer:

Solution:

Given: bigger side as base = 15 cm

Smaller side as base = 8 cm

Distance (height) between the longer sides = 4 cm

Area of Parallelogram= base (15cm) × height

= 15 × 4 = 60 cm²

Area of Parallelogram = 60 cm²

Area of Parallelogram =base( 8cm) × height

60 = 8 × height

Height = 60 /8= 15/2= 7.5 cm Hence, the Distance between the shorter sides is 7.5 cm

Hope this will help you...

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

longer side = 15.5

short side =8.5

height= 4

area of parallelogram = base ×height

15.5×4 = 62.0

area of parallelogram respect to shorter side = base × (height)

62.0 = 8.5 × (height)

height = 7.5
