उत्तर
Perpendicular dropped on the base of a parallelogram from the opposite vertex is known as the corresponding height/altitude of the base.
Explanation:
In a parallelogram, the altitude (also called the height) is the perpendicular distance between a side (called the base) and the opposite side (or the line containing the opposite side).
-
It is drawn from a vertex to the line containing the opposite side.
-
This perpendicular segment is the altitude corresponding to the base.
Example:
In a parallelogram ABCD:
-
If AB is the base, then the perpendicular drawn from C to AB (or its extension) is the altitude corresponding to AB.
