Question

two adjacent sides of a parallelogram are 15 cm and 10 cm if the distance between the longer side is 8 centimetre find the area of the parallelogram also find the distance between the shorter sides​

Answer 1

area of parallelogram = length × height

length = 15 height = 8

area = 15 × 8 = 120sq cm

other side length = 10

therefore area = length × height

120 = 10 × h

h = 120÷10

h = 12cm

distance between two shorter sides is 12 cm.
