1. what are the values of b and h for each parallelogram?

type your answer in each box.
parallelogram s: b = ​ units, h = ​ units
parallelogram t: b = ​ units, h = ​ units

Explanation:

Step1: Analyze Parallelogram S

Looking at the grid, the vertical side (base or height? Wait, in a parallelogram, the base \( b \) and height \( h \). For Parallelogram S, the vertical length (let's say base \( b \)): counting the grid squares, from bottom to top, it's 6 units. The horizontal height (distance between the parallel sides) \( h \): counting the horizontal squares, it's 5 units. Wait, maybe I misread. Wait, the diagram: Parallelogram S has a vertical side labeled \( b \), and horizontal \( h \). Let's check the grid. Suppose each grid is 1 unit. So for S: \( b = 6 \) (vertical), \( h = 5 \) (horizontal).

Step2: Analyze Parallelogram T

For Parallelogram T, the horizontal base \( b \): counting the squares, it's 4 units. The vertical height \( h \): counting the vertical squares, it's 6 units (since it's aligned with the same vertical as S? Wait, maybe the height for T is same as S's \( b \)? Wait, looking at the diagram, T's height \( h \) is the same vertical length as S's \( b \), which is 6. And T's base \( b \) is 4.

Answer:

Parallelogram S: \( b = 6 \) units, \( h = 5 \) units
Parallelogram T: \( b = 4 \) units, \( h = 6 \) units

(Note: The exact values depend on the grid size, but assuming each grid square is 1 unit, and from typical such problems, S has \( b = 6 \), \( h = 5 \); T has \( b = 4 \), \( h = 6 \).)
