Question

the adjacent sides of a parallelogram are7.5cm and 4cm .If the distance between the longer sides is 2cm,find the distance between the shorter sides

Answer 1

Given:
Longer side = 7.5 cm
Shorter side = 4 cm
Distance between Longer sides = 2 cm
now,
Area of parallelogram = Longer side × Distance between Longer sides
= 7.5 cm × 2cm
= 15cm2
Also,
Area of parallelogram = Shorter side × Distance between Shorter sides
⇒ 15cm2 = 4 cm × x cm
⇒ x = 3.75cm
Hence,
Distance between Shorter sides = 3.75cm
