उत्तर
First, draw two perpendiculars to AB from point D and C respectively. Since AB || CD therefore PMCD will be a rectangle.
Consider the figure,

Again from the right triangle APD we have
sin 60° = `"PD"/(20)`
`sqrt(3)/(2) = "PD"/(20)`
PD = `10sqrt(3)`
PD = 10 × 1.732
PD = 17.32
Therefore, the distance between AB and CD is 17.32.
