height = ?

To find the height, we apply the formula for area of parallelogram:

`\begin{gathered} \text{Area of parallelogram = Base }*\text{ height} \\ \end{gathered}`
`\begin{gathered} 30\text{ = 3 }*\text{ height} \\ \text{divide both sides by 3:} \\ (30)/(3)\text{ = }\frac{\text{3height}}{3} \\ \text{height = 10 } \\ \\ \text{The hright of parallelogram is 10 in} \end{gathered}`
