Answer: A. 32

Explanation:

The area of the parallelogram with height 24 and base 36

= 24 × 36

= 864 square unit,

Also, the area of the parallelogram with height h and base 27

= h × 27

= 27 h square unit,

Since, According to the given diagram,

Both area must be equal because they are the area of same parallelogram,

⇒ 27 h = 864

h = 32 unit

⇒ Option A is correct.
