A parallelogram has sides 15cm and 18cm.The height corresponding to a 15cm base is 9cm.Find height corresponding to an 18cm base.
7.5
To find the height corresponding to an 18cm base of the parallelogram, you can use the formula for the area of a parallelogram.
The area of a parallelogram is given by the formula:
Area = base * height
In this case, you have the base as 15cm and the height as 9cm.
First, find the area using the given base and height:
Area = 15cm * 9cm
Area = 135 cm^2
Now, you can use the formula to find the height corresponding to the 18cm base, using the area you just calculated:
135 cm^2 = 18cm * height
Divide both sides of the equation by 18cm to isolate the height variable:
height = 135 cm^2 / 18cm
height = 7.5 cm
Therefore, the height corresponding to an 18cm base is 7.5cm.
