Question

if line segment ru is considered the base of parallelogram rstu, what is the corresponding height of the parallelogram? 10.8 units 4.5 units 9.0 units 5.4 units

Explanation:

Step1: Recall height - base concept

The height of a parallelogram with a given base is the perpendicular distance from the base to the opposite side.

Step2: Analyze the grid

Count the number of grid - units from the base RU to the opposite side ST perpendicular to RU. By observing the grid, we can see that the perpendicular distance from the line containing RU to the line containing ST is 4.5 units.

Answer:

4.5 units
