Question

two adjacent sides of a parallelogram are 12cm and 8cm. if the length of the altitude corresponding to the sides 12cm is 6cm .find the length of the altitude corresponding to the other pair of sides

Answer 1

Let ABCD is the given parallelogram AB = 12 cm. And its corresponding height (h1) = 6 cm BC = 8cm and its corresponding height = h2 cm Area = base * corresponding height BC* h2 = AB* h1 8*h2 = 12* 6 h2 = 12*6/8 h2 = 9 cm
