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
The area of the parallelogram = DC * EG
And this equals BC * FH
And BC = AD
So
DC * EG = AD * FH
27 * 16 = 18 * FH divide both sides by 18
(27 / 18) * 16 = FH
( 3 / 2) * 16 = FH
24 = FH
