if line segment ru is considered the base of parallelogram rstu, what is the corresponding height of the parallelogram?\n4.5 units\n5.4 units\n9.0 units\n10.8 units

Answer

Explanation:

Step1: Identify the vertical distance

The height of a parallelogram with base RU is the perpendicular distance from the base RU to the opposite side. Counting the vertical grid - squares from the line containing RU to the opposite side (the line containing ST), we find the height. The y - coordinate of points on RU varies between y = 1 and y = 5. The perpendicular distance from the base RU to the opposite side is the vertical distance. The vertical distance between the line containing RU and the line containing ST is 5 - 1= 4.5 units (by observing the y - coordinates on the grid).

Answer:

4.5 units
