and the height of the parallelogram is 8 m, find the length of the corresponding base of the
parallelogram.
The
The adiacent sides of a parallelogram are 36 and 7 let
and​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

perimeter of square = 4 x side = 64m

side = 64m / 4 = 16 m

area of parallelogram = area of square

1/2 x base x height = side x side

1/2 x base x 8 m = 16m x 16m

base x 4m = 16 m x 16 m

base = 16 m x 16m / 4m

base = 64 m
