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 dashed line \( h \) is perpendicular to base \( b \) (right angle symbol), so labeling is correct.
• Second Parallelogram: The segment labeled \( h \) is a side (not perpendicular to base \( b \)), so it does not represent height. Labeling is incorrect.
• Third Parallelogram: The dashed line \( h \) is perpendicular to base \( b \) (right angle symbol), so labeling is correct.

Answer:

The middle parallelogram (the one with \( h \) as a slanted side and base \( b \)) is labeled incorrectly.
