1. The tops of the parallelogram – A, B, C, D. BH and BK – heights drawn to the sides AD and CD, respectively. S – area. AB and AD are equal to 40 centimeters and 15 centimeters, respectively.

2. Considering that the area of the parallelogram is equal to the product of one of its sides by the height drawn to it, we calculate the lengths of the heights:

BH = S: AD = 120: 40 = 3 centimeters.

BK = S: CD = 120: 15 = 8 centimeters.

Answer: BK is equal to 8 centimeters – the large height of the parallelogram.
