Formula of Height of a Parallelogram

\[\LARGE Height=\, \frac{Area}{Base}\]

Solved example:

Question. What will be the height of the parallelogram if the area  is 30 Sq inch and the base of a parallelogram is 6 inch, then find the height of a parallelogram ?

Solution.
The height of the parallelogram is

\(\begin{array}{l}Height=\, \frac{Area}{Base}\end{array} \)

   a= 30,  b = 6

H =

\(\begin{array}{l}\frac{30}{6}\end{array} \)
= 5cm

Hence, the height is 5 cm.
