Explanation:

Step1: Recall the formula for the area of a parallelogram

The formula for the area of a parallelogram is \(A = b\times h\), where \(A\) is the area, \(b\) is the base, and \(h\) is the height.

Step2: Solve for \(h\)

We know that \(A = 60\) and \(b = 4\). Rearranging the formula \(A = b\times h\) for \(h\), we get \(h=\frac{A}{b}\). Substituting the values: \(h=\frac{60}{4}\)

Answer:

\(15\)
