The length of the SM parallelogram when the length of the rectangle is 15 cm and width is 8 cm is 8/5 units.

What is the area of a rectangle?

Area of a rectangle is the product of the length of the rectangle and the width of the rectangle. It can be given as,

[tex]A=a\times b[/tex]

Here, (a)is the length of the rectangle and (b) is the width of the rectangle

The length of the rectangle is 15 cm and width is 8 cm. Thus, the area of it is,

[tex]A=15\times8\\A=120\rm\; cm^2[/tex]

All three parts has equal area. Thus, the area of parallelogram NCMA is,

[tex]A_p=\dfrac{120}{3}\\A_p=40\rm\; cm^2[/tex]

MN is the height of the parallelogram. Thus,

[tex]A_p=h\times AS\\40=h\times15\\h=\dfrac{40}{15}\\h=\dfrac{8}{5}[/tex]

Thus, the length of the Sm parallelogram when the length of the rectangle is 15 cm and width is 8 cm is 8/5 units.
