Question

Two adjacent sides of a parallelogram are 12cm and 10 cm. if the
distance between the longer side is 6 cm
Find 1) the area of the parallelogram
2) the distance between the shorter side​

Answer 1

Answer:

1. 72cm²
2. 7.2cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :

Two adjacent sides of a parallelogram is 12cm and 10cm.

Distance between the shorter sides is 6cm.

Find :

1. The area of the parallelogram.
2. The distance between the shorter side.

1.Answer :

Area of the parallelogram is given by :

→ base × distance between the shorter sides

Where,

• base will be 12cm.
• And while taking 12cm as the base the distance between the shorter side will be 6cm.

So, area is :

→ 12 × 6

→ 72cm²

2. Answer :

Now,

We can say that,

The area of the parallelogram is :

→ base × distance between the longer sides

Here,

• The base is taken as 10cm.
• And the distance between longer sides is considered as “a”

So,

→ 72 = 10 × a

→ 72/10 = a

→ 7.2 = a

The required distance is 7.2cm
