Question

the adjacent sides of parallelogram are 48 and 36 cm. find the distance of the longer side if te distance between the shorter sides is 16cm​

Answer 1

Sólution:-

Adjacent sides of a parallelogram = 48 cm and 36 cm .

Distance between the shorter sides = 16 cm

Distance between longer sides = ?

Now:-

Distance between the shorter sides is the height corresponding to the shorter side as the base.

So:-

Area of parallelogram = base × height

= (36 × 16) cm²

= 576 cm²

Again:-

Distance between the longer sides is the height corresponding to the longer side as the base.

So:-

=> 48 × height = 576

=> height = 576/48

=> height = 12 cm
