Hope this would help u !!

Answer 2

First find the area of triangle using heron's formula
S=10+24+26=60cm÷2=30cm
Under root s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c)
Under root30(30-10)(30-24)(30-26)
Under root30(20)(6)(4)
Split the numbers
Under root 5×6×2×5×2×6×2×2
Take out the common number out of root
5×6×2×2
Area of triangle=120cm
Area of triangle =area of parallelogram
Area of parallelogram =120cm
Area of parallelogram =base×height
120=24×height
Height =120÷24=5cm
