Given parameters :
- The figure is a parallelogram
- Dimensions are as follows ;
- Base = 8 cm or 15 cm
- Height = 11 cm or h cm
To find :
- The value of h that is height in other words
Solution :
We know that area of a parallelogram is base inti height .
In case 1 take the base as 8 cm and height as 11 cm
- Area = Base × Height
- Area = 8 × 11
- Area = 88 cm²
In second case take the base as 15 cm and the height as h cm .
Note that we are doing this in the same figure so the area would be same .
- Area = Base × Height
- 88 = 15 × h
- 88 = 15h
-
- 5.86 = height
