In a parallelogram, one of the parallel sides is 16 cm and the other side is 12 cm. If the perpendicular distance between the two parallel sides of dimension 16 cm is 24 cm, then the perpendicular distance between its other two parallel sides is :
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: C
Explanation
The correct answer is option 3 i.e. 32 cm.
Parallelogram area = AB × DE = AD × BF
⇒ 16 × 24 = 12 × BF
⇒ BF = 384/12 = 32 cm
