Answer:

$DM=12$

Step-by-step explanation:

(Let the point where the altitude from $D$ intersects $AB$ be called as point $E$ .) First, let's find the area of parallelogram $ABCD$ . The area of a parallelogram is simply $b*h=bh$ , where $b$ is the parallelogram's base and $h$ is the parallelogram's height. If we let $AB$ and $DE$ be the base and height respectively, since we are already given their lengths, we know that the area of parallelogram $ABCD$ will be $AB*DE=15*8=120$ .

Now, how does this information matter, you might ask? Well, we can take either $AB$ <em>or </em> $CB$ to be the base and either $DE$ or $DM$ to be the height. In this case, let's take the latter two options, as we are looking to find the length of $DM$ .

Therefore, we know that the area of parallelogram $ABCD$ can also be found by calculating $CB*DM$ . Since we know the values of the area and $CB$ , we can write the following equation to solve for $DM$ :
