Answer:

height = 11.67 units

Explanation:

A parallelogram is a quadrilateral with 2 pairs of parallel sides. This means opposites sides are parallel to each other. Opposite angles and sides are congruent.

From your question the base of the parallelogram is given as 12 units and the sides is 10 units. The area of the parallelogram is given as 140 units². What is left is the height of the parallelogram.

Using the formula for finding the area of a parallelogram, the height can be found.

area of a parallelogram = base × height

base = 12 units

height = ?

area = 140 unit²

area of a parallelogram = base × height

let

h = height

140 = 12h

divide both sides by 12

h = 140/12

h = 11.6666666667 units

height = 11.67 units
