A Parallelogram Has An Area Of 240 Square Meters. Can You Find The Height Of The Parallelogram If The Base Is 20 Meters?

A parallelogram is a quadrilateral whose opposite sides are equal and parallel. A parallelogram may be a square, rectangle or a rhombus etc. The area of parallelogram is equal to the magnitude of the cross product of two vectors. If the angles are 90^o degree between sides of parallelogram, the area of parallelogram is equal to the simple product of two sides.

Consider these parallelogram as a rectangle because angle between the sides ( height and base) are not given.

Area of parallelogram= base x height

240 m2= 20 x height

height= 240/ 20 meters

height= 12 meters
