Question

The adjacent sides of parallelogram are 16m and 10m. If the distance between the larger side is 8m,find the distance between the shortest side.
Ans-----12.8m

Answer 1

$\large{\boxed{\bold{Answer:}}}$

Base = 16m

Height = 8m

Area of the parallelogram,

$16 \times 8 = 128$

Shorter side = 10m

Area of parallelogram,

$128 = 10h \\ \\ = > h = \frac{128}{10} \\ \\ = > h = 12.8$

The distance between the shorter sides i.e = 12.8m

$\large{\boxed{\bold{Hope\:it\:helps\:you!}}}$

Answer 2

Area of ||gm

= 16 x 8
= 128

Shorter side = 10m

Area of ||gm
= 128 = 10h
h = 128/10

H = 12.8

Ans is 12.8m
