Solution

For triangle
Perimeter of triangle =(26 + 28 +30)cm = 84 cm
2s =84cm
s =42cm
By Heron’s formula,
Area of the triangle = s(sa)(sb)(sc)
= 42(4226)(4228)(4230)cm2=(42)(16)(14)(12)cm2=336cm2
Let the height of the parallelogram be h. Area of parallelogram = Area of triangle
h×28 cm=336 cm2
h=12 cm
Therefore, the height of the parallelogram is 12 cm.
