Question

the adjacent sides of a parallelogram have lengths 20cm and 12cm. The distance between the two shorter sides is 5cm. Find the area of a parallelogram and the distance between the longer sides.

Answer 1

Answer:

Area=b×h

=5×12=60㎠

=20×x

⇒x=3㎝

∴Area=60cm

2

; Distance between longer sides=3cm

Answer 2

$\huge{\boxed{\fcolorbox{orange}{red}{Answer:}}}$

Area of any paralle side x distance between them

Here area = 12 x 5= 60 = longer side x distance between longer sides

distance between longer sides = 60 / 20 =3 cm
