Answer:

ABCD is a parallelogram.

AL⊥CD and AM⊥BC              [ Given ]

AB=12cm, AD=8cm and AL=6cm

We know, opposite sides of a parallelogram are equal.

AB=CD and AD=BC

∴  CD=12cm and BC=8cm

⇒  Area of a parallelogram ABCD=AL×CD

                                                             =6×12

                                                             =72cm

2

                 ------ ( 1 )

⇒  Area of a parallelogram ABCD=AM×BC

                                                             =AM×8                        ----- ( 2 )

Comparing ( 1 ) and ( 2 ) we get,

⇒  AM×8=72

∴  AM=9cm
