Question

Find the height of a parallelogram whose area is 144cm² and the base is 18cm.

Answer 1

Let the height of the parallelogram = h
Area of a parallelogram with base b and height h is A = b x h
∴ Area of a parallelogram with base 18cm and height h cm is A = 18 x h = 144cm²

⇒ h = `(144)/(18)`
= 8cm.
