The sum of adjacent sides is half the perimeter, so is 25 cm. Since the side lengths are consecutive numbers, they are both nearly half of 25 cm. One side is 12 cm, the other is 13 cm.

These lengths, then, are one leg and the hypotenuse of the right triangle that makes up half the parallelogram. The other leg, the altitude, is found using the Pythagorean theorem (or your knowledge of Pythagorean triples). It is

... altitude = √((13 cm)² -(12 cm)²) = √(25 cm²) = 5 cm

The length of the altitude is 5 cm.

Shawna reduced the size of a rectangle to a height of 2 inches. What is the new width if it was originally 24 inches wide and 12
AfilCa [17]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Original Ratio              =                  New Ratio        All these problems are done the same way. Try to conquer the language.

The original ratio = 24 inches wide / 12 inches tall

Shawna's new ratio = you don't know / 2 inches in height (or tall)

Call what you don't know = x

24/12 = x / 2                        Cross multiply

12 * x = 24 * 2                     Combine the right

12 * x = 48                           Divide by 12

12x/12 = 48/12

x = 4

So the new height is 4 inches.
