the area of a parallelogram is the base times height
a=lh
here, we want to find h so:
h=a/l
h=(2x^2 + 9x + 4)/(2x + 1)
h=(x + 4)

The formula for the area of a parallelogram is Base times Height (or length of the altitude). That is, A = BH. To find the lenth of the altitude just divide the Area by the length of the base:
As "chance" would have it, this expression for Area factors into (2x+1)(x+4), so the fraction reduces to this:
cm
