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

Open in App

Solution

The length of side $24 c m$
Its corresponding height is $12 c m$
The area of parallelogram is $24 \times 12 = 288 c m^{2}$

The length of another side is $18 c m$
The area of parallelogram is $288 c m^{2}$

Its corresponding height is $\frac{288}{18} = 16 c m$
