Question

The adjacent sides of a parallelogram are 8m and 5m. If the distance between the longer sides is 4m, find the distance between the shorter sides
​

Answer 1

Answer:

2.5

Step-by-step explanation:

longer side - of parallelogram is 8m =half 4m

so that,

shorter side - of parallelogram is 5m = 2.5 m

Answer 2

Base of Parallelogram = 8m

Height of parallelogram = 4m

Area of parallelogram =Base × Height

= 8 × 4

= 32 m²

Base = 5m

Height =?

Area of Parallelogram = 32m²

Base × Height = 32

5m × Height = 32

$height = \frac{32}{5} \\ height = 6.4 \: m$
