Question
The height of the parallelogram is one-fourth of its base. If the area of the parallelogram is 676 sq.cm, find the height and the base
Advertisements
Solution
Let the base of the parallelogram be ‘b’ cm
Given: Height = `1/4` × base
Area of the parallelogram = 676 sq. cm
b × h = 676
b × `1/4`b = 676
b × b = 676 × 4
b × b = 13 × 13 × 4 × 4
b = 13 × 4 cm = 52 cm
Height = `1/4` × 52 cm = 13 cm
Height = 13 cm, Base 52 cm
