Question

the height (h) and base (b) of each parallelogram below are labeled. select any parallelograms that are labeled incorrectly.

Explanation:

Step1: Recall Parallelogram Height Definition

The height of a parallelogram is the perpendicular distance between two parallel sides (the base and its opposite side). It must form a right angle with the base.

Step2: Analyze Each Parallelogram

• First Parallelogram: The height \( h \) is perpendicular to the base \( b \) (right angle symbol present), so labeling is correct.
• Second Parallelogram: The segment labeled \( h \) is a side, not perpendicular to the base \( b \) (no right angle), so this is incorrect.
• Third Parallelogram: The height \( h \) is perpendicular to the base \( b \) (right angle symbol present), so labeling is correct.

Answer:

The middle parallelogram (the one with base \( b \) and side - labeled \( h \))
