Area of triangle ADB = 1/2 × BD×AE
Area of full parallelogram= 2(area of triangle ADB)
*(Diagonal of parallelogram divides the triangle into two congruent triangles or two triangles of equal areas)
Therefore, area of parallelogram ABCD = 28×2 =56 units squared
We also know that area of parallelogram is
base ×height
So
B×H=56
12 × H = 56
H= 56/12 OR 14/3
