Question

a parallelogram and asquare of the same area of the sides of square measures 40 m and altitude of the parallelogram measures 25 m. find the length of the corresponding base of the parallelogram.

Answer 1

Area of parallelogram = Area of square

Side of square = 40m

Altitude of the parallelogram = 25m

Area of parallelogram = Area of square

base* height = (side)*2

base * 25m = (40)*2

base* 25 = 1600

base = 1600/25

base = 64m
