Question 150333
Let "x" =distance between the sides
So, "x+8"= length of the sides
Go back in finding the area of parallelogram,
{{{A=distance*length}}}
{{{48m^2=x*(X+8m)}}}
{{{48=x^2+8x}}} -------> {{{x^2+8x-48=0}}}
{{{(x+12)(x-4)=0}}}
Use {{{x=4m}}} -----> distance
{{{4+8=12m}}}  -----> length of the sides
Thank you,
