1.	In Fig., ABCD is a parallelogram, in which AB = 8 cm, AD = 6 cm and altitude AE = 4 cm. Find the altitude corresponding to side AD.
Answer» Area of parallelogram ABCD = AB × AE = 8 × 4 cm² = 32 cm² Let altitude corresponding to AD be h. Then, h × AD = 32 or h × 6 = 32 or h = 32/6 = 16/3 Thus, altitude corresponding to AD is 16/3 cm.

In Fig., ABCD is a parallelogram, in which AB = 8 cm, AD = 6 cm and altitude AE = 4 cm. Find the altitude corresponding to side AD.

Answer»

Area of parallelogram ABCD = AB × AE = 8 × 4 cm² = 32 cm²

Let altitude corresponding to AD be h. Then,

h × AD = 32

or h × 6 = 32

or h = 32/6 = 16/3

Thus, altitude corresponding to AD is 16/3 cm.
