Pritha draws a parallelogram of which adjacent sides are 25 cm and 15 cm and length of one diagonal is 20 cm. Let us write by calculating the height of parallelogram which is drawn on the side of 25 cm.


Given, a parallelogram of which adjacent sides are 25 cm and 15 cm and length of one diagonal is 20 cm.


Consider a parallelogram ABCD, adjacent sides are given, AB=25cm


BC=15cm


And diagonal AC=20cm


Semi perimeter of ∆ABC, S =


S = 30cm


Hence area of ∆ABC = sq. cm


Area ∆ABC = 150 sq. cm


Area of parallelogram ABCD = 2×area of ∆ABC


Area of parallelogram ABCD = 2×150


= 300sq. cm


Let, Height AE = h


Area of parallelogram ABCD= base × height


300 = 25 × h


h =


h = 12cm
