Area of a Parallelogram = Base × Height
 
From the figure,
 
Area of a Parallelogram = Base × Height = AB × CE = 3.2 × CE    ...(1)
Area of a Parallelogram = Base × Height = BC × AF = 4 × AF    ...(2)
 
From (1) and (2)
3.2 × CE = 4 × AF
 
begin mathsize 16px style CE over AF space equals space fraction numerator begin display style 4 end style over denominator begin display style 3.2 end style end fraction end style
Therefore the ratio of the altitudes is 4: 3.2
