Answer: 10 inches

--------------------------------------------------------------
Find area of the rectangle
--------------------------------------------------------------
Area of the rectangle = Length x Width
Area of the rectangle = 7 x 8
Area of the rectangle = 56 in²

--------------------------------------------------------------
Find the missing height of the parallelogram
--------------------------------------------------------------
Area of the parallelogram = Length x height
56 = 5.6 x height
height = 56 ÷ 5.6
height = 10 inches

--------------------------------------------------------------
Answer: The altitude is 10 inches.
