Q3(d):
Find the missing values: Base = $15.6$ cm, Height = ______, Area of the Parallelogram = $16.38$ cm$^2$.
Solution :
Given Variables & Initial Setup
We are tasked with determining the missing dimension of a parallelogram based on its area and base. The known parameters are defined as follows:
- Base ($b$): $15.6 \text{ cm}$
- Area ($A$): $16.38 \text{ cm}^2$
- Height ($h$): Unknown
Step 1: Governing Geometric Principle
The area of a parallelogram is mathematically defined as the product of its base and the corresponding perpendicular height. [Per standard Euclidean geometry principles for planar quadrilaterals, a parallelogram can be transformed into a rectangle of equal base and height without altering its area].
The fundamental formula is expressed as:
$A = b \times h$
Step 2: Algebraic Substitution
Substitute the given numerical values into the area formula to establish the algebraic equation:
$16.38 \text{ cm}^2 = 15.6 \text{ cm} \times h$
Step 3: Isolation of the Unknown Variable
To solve for the height ($h$), we must isolate the variable by dividing both sides of the equation by the base ($15.6 \text{ cm}$). [By the Division Property of Equality]:
$h = \frac{16.38 \text{ cm}^2}{15.6 \text{ cm}}$
Step 4: Arithmetic Computation & Decimal Normalization
To perform the division with precision, normalize the decimals by multiplying both the numerator and the denominator by $100$ (shifting the decimal point two places to the right):
$h = \frac{16.38 \times 100}{15.60 \times 100} = \frac{1638}{1560}$
Now, execute the division:
- $1638 \div 1560 = 1$ with a remainder of $78$.
- Add a decimal point and append a zero to the remainder: $780$.
- $780 \div 1560 = 0.5$.
Combining these yields the exact quotient:
$h = 1.05 \text{ cm}$
Geometric Visualization
Below is a rigorously scaled vector representation of the parallelogram. The aspect ratio of the base to the height in the drawing is exactly $15.6 : 1.05$ (approximately $14.86 : 1$), demonstrating the highly elongated nature of this specific geometric figure.
Final Solution: The missing height of the parallelogram is exactly $1.05 \text{ cm}$.

Private teacher. Classes will be taken for science also but only for Physics and Chemistry. I have been teaching for Class 10 for the past 15 years. Focus will be given to each student regarding their difficult concepts. Previous year question papers will be discussed, along with practice worksheets that will be given for each chapter. Coaching will be given to score good marks in respective board exams by giving them tricks to manage the timings
Wonderful teacher with enormous knowledge about the subject with a smile every time while teaching...

I have motivated many 10th std student who scored more than 85% I love teaching and I can make you understand what actually studies is!!! It's all about practise and applications
I highly recommend Shivam Sir for Class 10 Mathematics and Science. He taught my brother, and the improvement in his understanding and confidence was remarkable. Before joining his classes, my brother found several concepts difficult, but Shivam Sir explained every topic in a very simple, practical, and easy-to-understand manner. He always ensured that every concept was clear before moving on to the next chapter. His teaching style is interactive and student-friendly. He patiently answers every doubt, gives plenty of practice questions, conducts regular tests, and provides useful tips for board exams. He also shares short tricks, revision strategies, and focuses on strengthening concepts rather than just memorizing answers.
