Question

4. The base of a parallelogram is twice its height. If the area of parallelogram is 288 2
, find the base
and height.

Answer 1

Let height be x and base be 2x.

Area of parallelogram= base×height

x*2x = 288

2x^2 = 288

x^2 = 288/2

x^2 = 144

x = √144

x = 12

Therefore, height = 12 and base = 2×12=24

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the base be 'b' and height be 'h'.

b=2h

So, we can substitute 'b' with '2h'.

Area of parallelogram=bxh

=2h^2

2h^2=2882

h^2=1441

h= √1441

b=2√1441
