Question

what is the altitude corresponding to the side of length 8.5 cm in a parallelogram whose area is 34 cm^2?

Answer 1

Area of parallelogram =base multiply height

Answer 2

Answer:

Correspond Altitude = 4 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

A parallelogram is a plane and two-dimensional figure wherein opposite sides apart from being parallel are equal too.

Base = 8.5 cm, Area of the parallelogram = 34 sq. cm

Area of parallelogram, A = Base * Corresponding Height ( Altitude )

Substituting the values we know,

34 sq. cm = 8.5 cm * Correspond Altitude

Correspond Altitude = 34 / 8.5

Correspond Altitude = 340 / 85

Correspond Altitude = 4 cm
