Question

Two adjacent sides of a parallelogram are 24 cm and 18 cm. If the distance between
longer sides is 12 cm, find the distance between shorter sides. plz explain step by step by using diagram ​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a parallelogram = h×b (where, h is the distance between the two parallel sides and b is the length of side).

Let the length between two shorted sides be x.

x×18cm = Area = 24×12 cm²

x= 24×12/18 = 16 cm
