उत्तर
Given, perimeter of parallelogram = 96 m and area of parallelogram = 270 m2
In a parallelogram ABCD, AB = CD = 18 m and AD = BC
As we know, perimeter of a parallelogram ABCD = AB + BC + CD + AD
⇒ 96 = 18 + AD + 18 + AD ...[∵ AD = BC]
⇒ 96 = 36 + 24D
⇒ 2AD = 60
⇒ AD = 30 cm
So, AD = BC = 30 cm
Now, area of parallelogram ABCD = Base × Corresponding height
⇒ 270 = AB × DE ...[∵ Base = AB]
⇒ 270 = 18 × DE
⇒ `270/18` = DE
⇒ DE = 15 m
Also, area of parallelogram ABCD = AD × BF ...[∵ Base = AD]
⇒ 270 = 30 × l
⇒ l = `270/30`
⇒ l = 9 m
Hence, altitudes l = 9 m and m = 15 m.
