You can put this solution on YOUR website!
Area of parallelogram = length * width
\n" ); document.write( "Area of parallelogram = 15 * 8
\n" ); document.write( "Area of parallelogram = 120 units^2
\n" ); document.write( "Area of triangle = 1/2 (base * height)
\n" ); document.write( "120 units^2 = 1/2 ( 10 * height)
\n" ); document.write( "120 * 2 = 10 * height
\n" ); document.write( "Height = 240/10
\n" ); document.write( "Height of altitude = 24 units.
