The area of a parallelogram with a side of 5.6 in is equal to the area of a rectangle with sides 7 in and 8 in. Find the altitude to the given side in the parallelogram

Respuesta :

The answer of that question is 28 ; )

The altitude of the parallelogram is 10 inches

The dimension of the rectangle is given as:

Length = 7 inches

Width = 8 inches

The area of the rectangle is calculated as:

Area = Length * Width

So, we have:

Area = 7 * 8

Evaluate the product

Area = 56

The area of the parallelogram is:

Area =  Base * Height

So, we have:

5.6 * Height = 56

Divide both sides by 5.6

Height = 10

Hence, the altitude of the parallelogram is 10 inches
