Solution

The sides of a parallelogram are 20cm and 15cm. The height corresponding the base 20cm is 12cm.
Find: (1) Area of the parallelogram
(2) The height corresponding to base 15cm

1. area of the parallelogram= base* height corresponding the base =20*12=240 cm square

2. let the height corresponding to base 15 be h.
therefore area of parallelogram =15h
15h=240
h=240/15=16 cm
