The lengths of two sides of a parallelogram are 6 inches and 10 inches and the angle between them measures 41 degrees. What is the length of the altitude on the long side?
\n" ); document.write( "let ABCD be the parellogram . ab =6 and bc =10 the angle between them = 41 deg.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Extend DA to P and join it from b\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "We have to find length length DP. DP = DA + AP\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "we have to find length AP in triangle APB\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "AP / AB = cos 41 \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Cos 41=0.98\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "AP = 0.98 * AB
\n" ); document.write( "AP= 0.98*6
\n" ); document.write( "AP=5.88\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The length of altitude = 5.88 +10 = 15.88 inches\r
\n" ); document.write( "
