Hopefully you've been given the parallelogram's area.

If so you can use the following formula:

Area of parallelogram = base length x altitude

therefore

altitude = area of parallelogram (divided by) base length

If a parallelogram below has an area of 288 square units what is the length of the altitude?

To find the length of the altitude of a parallelogram given its area, you can use the formula for the area: ( \text{Area} = \text{base} \times \text{height} ). If the base is known, you can rearrange the formula to solve for height (altitude) as ( \text{height} = \frac{\text{Area}}{\text{base}} ). Without knowing the length of the base, the altitude cannot be determined. If you provide the base length, I can help calculate the altitude.

Why will a parallelogram always have a smaller area than a rectangle with the same measurements?

The area of a parallelogram is the length of the 'base' times the altitude. In a rectangle, which is a special case of parallelogram, the altitude is maximum length and also is equal in length to the other side.
