The sides of a triangle DCE are
DC = 15 cm, CE = 13 cm, ED = 14 cm
Let h be the height of parallelogram ABCD
Given,
Perimeter of ΔDCE
2s = DC + CE + ED
`⇒S=1/2(15+13+4)`
`⇒s=1/2(42)`
`⇒s=21cm`
ЁЭР┤ЁЭСЯЁЭСТЁЭСО ЁЭСЬЁЭСУ ΔЁЭР╖ЁЭР╢ЁЭР╕ = `sqrt(s(s-dc)(s-ce)(s-ed))`
`=sqrt(21(21-15)(21-13)(21-14))`
`=sqrt(21xx7xx8xx6)`
`=sqrt(84xx84)`
`84 cm^2`

⇒ 24×тДО=84 [∴ Area of parallelogram = base × height]
⇒ h = 6 cm
