Question

Two adjacent sides of a parallelogram are $15cm$ and $12cm$. If the distance between $15cm$ sides is $8cm$, then the distance between the $12cm$ sides is ________________________ $cm$

• A. 6
• B. 8
• C. 10
• D. 12

Answer 1

The correct option is C

10

Let the distance

between $12cm$

sides be h $cm$

Area = base $\times$ height

$\therefore$ 1.5 $times$ 8 = 12 $\times$ h

$h=10cm$

Hence (C)
