A parallelogram has sides 12 cm and 9 cm. If the distance between its shorter sides is 8 cm, find the distance between its longer side. Answers.
A) 2 B) 4 C) 6 D) 8 E) 9
Adjacent sides of parallelogram = 2 cm and 9 cm   Distance between shorter sides = 8 cm   Area of parallelogram = b × h   = 9 × 8 cm²   = 72 cm²   Again, area of parallelogram = b × h   72 = 12 × h   h = 72/12=
