Question

Two sides of parallelogram are 12cm and 9cm .if the distance between it's shorter sides is 8cm,then the distance between the longer side is

Answer 1

it's 6cm because area of parallelogram is base ×height when we take 9 as base and 8as height the area will be 72 now taking 12 as base and area 72 then height will be 6cm

Answer 2

Hey buddy,

◆ Answer- 6 cm

◆ Explanation-

# Given-

length of the longer side l = 12 cm

length of shorter side b = 9 cm

distance between longer sides h1 = ?

distance between shorter sides h1 = 8 cm

# Solution-

We know that

Area of the parallelogram = Length of side × distance between opposite sides

That is here,

l × h1 = b × h2

12 × h1 = 9 × 8

h1 = 6 cm

Thus, distance between longer sides h1 = 6 cm.
