Side of triangle 126cm, 120cm, and 130cm 

its semi-perimeter,     

                               $$s = fraca+b+c2$$

Now, 

                        $$s = frac126+120+1302= frac3762 = 188 cm $$

We use Heron's formula,  Area of triangle 

                                      $$ = sqrt s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c) $$

   Put the value, Area of triangle 

                                               $$ = sqrt 188(188-126)(188-120)(188-130) $$ \$$ $$= sqrt 188 imes 62 imes 68 imes 58 $$\$$ $$= 6780.21cm^2 $$

      Since a parallelogram and a triangle have the same base and same area, now

Area of parallelogram = Area of trianble 

                                                              $$ 120 imes height(h) = 6780.21 $$\$$ $$ h = 56.50 cm $$

Hence, corresponding height of parallelogram with base 120cm = 56.50 cm
