The wording of this question is not clear
It does not say if the sides of 15 and 18 are the parallel sides, or if they are adjacent sides.
I must conclude that they are adjacent sides or else the height between them would be constant
area of ||gram is base x height

so
15(9) = 18h
h = 15(9)/18 = 7.5 cm
That is exactly how it was worded, which is why I was having trouble too...
Thanks a bunch, Reiny!
