Answer 1

Answer:

1) 20.25cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

Area of Parallelogram = 48.6cm^2

Base of Parallelogram = 2.4cm

To Find :-

Corresponding Height

Let's Understand:-

Let,

Area of Parallelogram be 'A'

Base be 'b'

Height be 'h'

Substituting these values in formula if Area of Parallelogram we will get the value of Corresponding Height.

Formula Required:-

Area of Parallelogram = Base$\sf\times$ Corresponding Height

A = b$\sf\times$h

Solution :-

Substituting values :-

$48.6 {cm}^{2} = 2.4cm \times h$

Transposing 2.4cm to Left side :-

$\frac{48.6 {cm}^{2} }{2.4cm} = h$

$h = 20.25cm$

$\sf\therefore$ Corresponding Height = h = 20.25cm

Therefore option '1' 20.25cm

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the missing base, you simply divided the area by the given height. This will work the same way if you are looking for the height. To find the missing height, divide the area by the given base. Consider this parallelogram where height is the missing dimension.
