Find the heights of a parallelogram with sides of 10 cm and 6 cm if its area is 30 cm2.

As you know, the area of a parallelogram is equal to the product of its side by the length of the height drawn to this side:

S = a * h.

The height of the parallelogram can be found by dividing the area value by the side length:

h = S / a.

Therefore, the height drawn to the side equal to 10 cm is h1 = 30/10 = 3 cm.

The height drawn to the 6 cm side is h2 = 30/6 = 5 cm.
