let, x be the length of the shorter side
we know that area of parallelogram=base * height
so longer side area and smaller side area are equal
therefore we comparing both are.we get
                          54 * 16=24 * x 
                     (54*16)24=x
                                    x=36
Length of smaller side is 36
