The parallelogram shown below has an area of 15 units. Find the missing height.

5 is the height

Step-by-step explanation:

With parallelogram it usually shows the lengths and we find the height using either diagonal or triangle within the shape or in some extremes use the exterior.

The height must be perpendicular to either set parallel lines for it to be an equal equation of H x Adjacent Length = Area

Where we find L x W  of a normal rectangle of 90 degree angles = Area of a rectangle, we find that parallelograms have diagonal sets of acute angles under 90 degree, and diagonal sets of obtuse angles (over 90 degree) where all angles just like rectangles/squares add up to 360 degrees.

We can see in the exterior of the triangle a trapezoid surface area and therefore reflects the same length as the missing measure being the length to make the area = 15units.

Here we can prove, height of 5 = length 5 = hypotenuse of 5 (of a right sided triangle).

"it's not the heat, it's the humidity".   that's a partly valid phrase you may have heard in the summer, but it's actually both.   the heat index, also known as the apparent temperature, is what the temperature feels like to the human body when relative humidity is combined with the air temperature.   this has important considerations for the human body's comfort.   when the body gets too hot, it begins to perspire or sweat to cool itself off.   if the perspiration is not able to evaporate, the body cannot regulate its temperature.   evaporation is a cooling process.   when perspiration is evaporated off the body, it effectively reduces the body's temperature.   when the atmospheric moisture content (i.e. relative humidity) is high, the rate of perspiration from the body decreases.   in other words, the human body feels warmer in humid conditions.   the opposite is true when the relative humidity decreases because the rate of perspiration increases.   the body actually feels cooler in arid conditions.   there is direct relationship between the air temperature and relative humidity and the heat index, meaning as the air temperature and relative humidity increase (decrease), the heat index increases (decreases).
