Question

Two adjacent sides of a parallelogram are 12 cm and 8cm. If the length of the altitude corresponding to the sides12 cm is 6cm,find the length of the altitude correspondimlng to the side8 cm

Answer 1

Area of parallelogram = one side × corresponding altitude.

A = 12 cm × 6 cm = 72 cm²

Also, Area of parallelogram = altitude-1 × altitude-2

72 cm² = 12 cm × altitude-2

6 cm = altitude-2
