1.	One side of parallelogram is 18cm and its area is 153 sq. cm. Find the distance of the given side from its opposite side.
Answer» ☆ Solution ☆ Given :- One side of parallelogram is 18cm and its area is 153 SQ. cm To FIND :- The distance of the given side from its opposite side. Step-by-Step-Explaination :- LET side of the parallelogram ( b ) = 18 cm Distance between two parallel SIDES = altitude = h cm As we know that , Area of parallelogram = b × h Putting the respective value Area of parallelogram = 18 cm × h = 153 cm² Area of parallelogram = h = 153 cm²/ 18 cm Area of parallelogram = 17 cm / 2 Area of parallelogram = 8.5 cm HENCE, Distance between two parallel sides (h) = 8.5 cm

One side of parallelogram is 18cm and its area is 153 sq. cm. Find the distance of the given side from its opposite side.

Answer»

LET side of the parallelogram ( b ) = 18 cm

Distance between two parallel SIDES = altitude = h cm

As we know that ,

Area of parallelogram = b × h

Putting the respective value

Area of parallelogram = 18 cm × h = 153 cm²

Area of parallelogram = h = 153 cm²/ 18 cm

Area of parallelogram = 17 cm / 2

Area of parallelogram = 8.5 cm

Distance between two parallel sides (h) = 8.5 cm
