In the figure below, ABCD is a parallelogram, AD = 18 and DC = 27. Segments EG and FH are perpendicular to sides of the parallelogram as shown, and EG = 18. Determine FH.
In the figure below, ABCD is a parallelogram, AD = 18 and DC = 27. Segments EG and FH are perpendicular to sides of the parallelogram as shown, and EG = 16. Determine FH.
AD ≠ EG
FH = (27 * 16) / 18
FH = 24
Area of parallelogram = EG * DC = 18 * 27 = 486
Also
Area of parallelogram = AD * FH
So
18 * FH = 486
FH = 486 / 18 = 27
