Question

The base and the corresponding altitude of a parallelogram are 10cm and 12cm respectively if the other altitude is 8cm find the length of the other pair of parallel sides​

Answer 1

Answer:

15cm

Step-by-step explanation:

area of parallelogram= base*height

accordingly sum,

area = 10*12=120sq cm

area= 120sq cm---->I

altitude= 8cm

let corresponding base(other side) =x cm

area of the parallelogram= 8*x--->Ii

from I and II

8*x=120

x= 120/8

x=15cm

other side= x = 15cm
