ABCD is a parallelogram. AD = 12 cm.
DC = 9 cm.
The perpendicular distance of
from CD is 8 cm.
What is the perpendicular distance of AD from BC?

  6 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of the parallelogram is the same, either way you figure it.

  A = bh

  A = CD(length ⊥ to CD)

  A = (9 cm)(8 cm) = 72 cm²

__

  A = AD(length ⊥ AD)

  72 cm² = (12 cm)(length ⊥ AD)

  (length ⊥ AD) = (72 cm²)/(12 cm) = 6 cm

The perpendicular distance of AD from BC is 6 cm.

4

step-by-step explanation:

6 (donuts) divided by 3 is 2.

so 2/3 means 2 times 2, which is 4/6.

you get two and your friend gets four.
