Question

10. Find the altitude of a parallelogram, whose area
is 25 cm2 and base is 8 cm.
​
​

Answer 1

Answer: Altitude = 3.125 cm

Step-by-step explanation: Area of the parallelogram = 25cm²

Base = 8cm

Let the altitude be x cm .

Then , Area of a parallelogram = Base x Altitude = 25cm²

8x = 25cm²

x = 25/8 cm²

x = 3.125 cm

Answer 2

Altitude of Parallelogram

Answer:  Altitude of parallelogram = 3.125 cm

Explanation:

given that

Area of parallelogram = 25 cm²

Base of parallelogram = 8 cm

Need to determine altitude that is height of the parallelogram.

let assume altitude that is height of the parallelogram = x cm

formula for area of parallelogram is as follows

Area of parallelogram = base x height

Substituting given values of Area and Base , and assumed value of height in above formula of area of parallelogram , we get

25 = 8 × x

=> x = 25/8 = 3.125cm

Hence height that is altitude of parallelogram = x = 3.125 cm
