Question

ABCD is a parallelogram, in which AB=10cm, AD=8cm and altitude AE=6cm. find the altitude corresponding to side AD​

Answer 1

Answer:

Area of parallelogram ABCD = AB × AE = 8 × 4 cm2 = 32 cm2 Let altitude corresponding to AD be h. Then, h × AD = 32 or h × 6 = 32 or h = 32/6 = 16/3 Thus, altitude corresponding to AD is 16/3 cm.
