Consider the following parallelogram.

A parallelogram is depicted with a base labeled as 10 cm and a vertical height marked as 6 cm, indicated by a dashed line. The height is drawn perpendicular to the base, forming a shaded right triangle, which is denoted by a square at the intersection of the height and the base. There are double arrows on two opposing bases, suggesting congruency.
