The approximate corresponding height of the parallelogram is 4.8 units.

Height of the parallelogram

Given:

AB = 8.6

Coordinates

A(1, 3), B(8, 8), C(12, 5) and D(5, 0)

Hence:

Angle AB and AD

Slope m(AB)=8-3/8-1

Slope m(AB)=5/7

Slope m(AD) =3-0/1-5

Slope m(AD)=3/4

TanФ=5/7-(-3/4)÷1+(5/7) (-3/4)

TanФ=41/13

TanФ=3.154

Ф=tan^-1 (3.154)

Ф=72.41°

Angle ABE

Sin 72.41°=DE/5

0.95324=DE/5

Cross multiply

DE=5×0.95324

DE=4.76

DE=4.8 units (Approximately)

Therefore the correct option is C.
