Thank you.
You're welcome.
To find the height of a parallelogram, you need to know the length of one of its sides (base) and the area of the parallelogram. The formula to calculate the area of a parallelogram is:
Area = base * height
Since we want to find the height, we rearrange the formula:
height = Area / base
To find the area of a parallelogram, you need either the length of the base and the height or the lengths of two sides and the included angle.
If you know the length of the base and the height, you can simply use the formula above to find the height.
If you know the lengths of two sides and the included angle, you can use the following formula to find the area:
Area = side1 * side2 * sin(angle)
Once you have the area and the length of the base, you can substitute these values into the formula to find the height of the parallelogram.
