Will a parachute slow a sky diver more at a very high altitude or at a lower altitude?

Parachutes work best in a dense medium. Since air density decreases with altitude, the closer you are to the surface the better a parachute will work. You still have to give it time to deploy to work, though.

What sort of health benefits do you get from running in high altitude?

Less than what you get from running in low altitude, because the partial pressure of oxygen (and other gasses, too) is lower. This means your body doesn't get as much oxygen, so you can't work as hard, and it leads to oxygen deprivation. Don't do it until AFTER acclimating to the altitude.


Why does multiplying length times width to find the area of rectangles work only for rectangles?

For a parallelogram, the area is base x altitude. The altitude is the vertical distance between the base and the side opposite of the base. In a rectangle, which is also a rectangle, the side adjacent to the base, is equal in length to the altitude, because it is perpendicular to the base.
