Question

two adjacent side of a parallelogram are 10 cm and 12 cm. if one diagnol of it is 16 cm long .find area of the pallelogram. also find distance between the shoter sides

Answer 1

The area of a parallelogram, A = length of parallel sides* distance between them.

Longer sides = 15 cm. Distance between longer sides = 6 cm

Shorter sides = 10 cm. Distance between shorter sides = ? cm

So area =15*6 = 90 sq cm,

So distance between the shorter sides will be 90/10 = 9 cm.
