Question

Two adjacent sides of a parallelogram are 24 cm and 18 cm. If the distance between the longer sides is 12 cm; find the distance between the shorter sides.

Answer 1

Since
Area = Base x Height
∴ 24 x 12 = 18 x h

h = `[ 24 xx 12 ]/18`

   = 16 m
Hence the distance between the shorter sides is 16m.
