Question

A parallelogram has a base of 12 cm and 8cm .calculate the percentage error

Answer 1

The altitude corresponding to the other pair of sides in the parallelogram is 9 cm.

To find the altitude corresponding to the other pair of sides in the parallelogram, we can use the formula for the area of a parallelogram. The area of a parallelogram is given by the formula:

`[ \text{Area} = \text{base} * \text{height} ]`

In this case, the base of the parallelogram is 12 cm and the corresponding altitude is 6 cm. Therefore, we can use the given area to find the altitude corresponding to the other pair of sides.

The area of the parallelogram is:

`[ \text{Area} = 12 * 6 = 72 , \text{cm}^2 ]`

Now, to find the altitude corresponding to the other pair of sides, we can use the formula for the area of a parallelogram:

`[ \text{Area} = \text{base} * \text{height} ]`

Solving for the height, we have:

`[ 72 = 8 * \text{height} ]`

Dividing both sides by 8, we get:

`[ \text{height} = 9 , \text{cm} ]`

Therefore, the altitude corresponding to the other pair of sides in the parallelogram is 9 cm.

Complete question:

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