By the values given in the table, for base length and height of the parallelograms, you can notice that base length increases 1 units, so you have 1,2,3,4,5. For height you can notice that while base length increase 1 unit, height decreases by a factor of 1/x, just as follow:

1 - 48

2 - 24

3 - 16

4 - 12

5 - 8

The relation between base length and height is:

f(x) = 48/x

where f(x) is the height and x is the base length. In fact, you have:

f(1) = 48/1 = 48

f(2) = 48/2 = 24

f(3) = 48/3 = 16

f(4) = 48/4 = 12
