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

  • \sf\implies\::(88)/(15)\:=\:h
  • 5.86 = height

Answer:

we have

when

base=8cm

height=11cm

area of parallelogram is :base×height

=8*11=88cm³

Now for

base=15cm

height=h

we have

the area of parallelogram=88cm²

base ×height=88cm²

15*h=88

h=88/15

h=88/15 or 5 13/15 or 5.86 cm in approximately
