Question
The adjacent sides of a parallelogram are 32 cm and 24 cm. If the distance between the longer sides is 17.4 cm, find the distance between the shorter sides.
Solution
Longer side = 32 cm
Shorter side = 24 cm
Let the distance between the shorter sides be x cm.
Area of a parallelogram = Longer side`xx`Distance between the longer sides = Shorter side`xx`Distance between the shorter sides
Or, `32xx17.4=24 xx x`
Or x= ` (32xx17.4)/24=23.2` cm
∴Distance between the shorter sides = `23.2 cm`
