Question

what is the altitude corresponding to the side of length 8.5 CM in a parallelogram whose area is 34 CM square​

Answer 1

Given :

• Area of parallelogram = 34cm²
• Length of side = 8.5cm

To find :

• The altitude

Solution :

Using the formula,

✦Area of parallelogram = base×height

Putting values,

→Area = bh

→34 = 8.5(h)

→h = 34/8.5

→h = 4cm.

Hence,the altitude is 4cm.
