Question

Two adjacent sides of a parallelogram are 12 cm and 8 cm. If the length of the altitude corresponding to the sides 12 cm is 6 cm, find the length of the altitude corresponding to the other pair of sides​

Answer 1

Answer:

9 cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

Area will be the same with whatever base you take first. So in this instance first find out the area with side of 12 cm and the height of 6 cm

so,

Area of a parallelogram is Side x Height

12 x 6 = 72 cm²

Now that we have area, apply the formula for height with respect to the other side of 8 cm which is

Height = Area / Side

            = 72 / 8

            = 9 cm.
