Question

The longer side of a parallelogram is 54 CM and the corresponding altitude is 16 CM.if the altitude corresponding to shorter sides 24 CM find the length of short
er side

Answer 1

TAKING LONGER SIDE AS BASE

Area of parallelogram =1/2 ×base × height

======================1/2× B ×H

====================1/2 ×54 ×16

____________________________________

TAKING SHORTER SIDE AS BASE

Area of Parallelogram=1/2×b×h

====================1/2 × b×24

Both is Area of Parallelogram
so

1/2 ×54×16 =1/2 ×b×24

b=36


So length of shorter side is 36 cm
