Question

use the segment tool to draw the height of the parallelogram if either horizontal side is the base. segment undo redo reset

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the height of a parallelogram

The height of a parallelogram with a horizontal base is a vertical (or perpendicular) segment from a point on one horizontal side to the opposite horizontal side.

Step2: Identify the base and the opposite side

The horizontal sides are the top and bottom sides of the parallelogram. We can pick a vertex on the top side (e.g., the left - most top vertex) and draw a vertical (perpendicular to the horizontal base) segment down to the bottom horizontal side. This segment should be perpendicular to the horizontal base, so it will be a vertical line (since the base is horizontal) connecting a point on the upper base to the lower base.
(Note: Since this is a drawing task, the actual drawing would involve using the segment tool to draw a perpendicular segment from a point on one horizontal side to the other horizontal side. For example, if we take the left - hand top vertex, we draw a vertical line straight down to the bottom side, ensuring it is perpendicular. The length of this segment is the height.)

Answer:

To draw the height, select a point on one horizontal (top or bottom) side of the parallelogram. Then, using the segment tool, draw a line segment perpendicular to the horizontal side, connecting that point to the opposite horizontal side. For example, from a vertex on the top horizontal side, draw a vertical (perpendicular) segment down to the bottom horizontal side. (The actual drawing is done using the segment tool in the given interface, creating a perpendicular segment between the two horizontal sides.)
