Question

A square and a parallelogram have dame area . If a side is 40m and the height of the parallelogram is 20m ,find the base of the parallelogram

Answer 1

Hi ,

Let side of the square = a = 40 m

Height of the parallelogram( h )= 20m

Let the base = b m

Area of the parallelogram = area of

the square

bh = a²

b = a²/h

b = ( 40 × 40 ) / 20

b = 80 m

Therefore ,.

Base of the parallelogram = b = 80m

I hope this helps you.

:)

Answer 2

area of a square = side^2
area of a parallelogram= base * height
side of square=40m
height of parallelogram=20m
according to given condition-
(side^2)=(base * ht)
40^2 = base * 20
1600= base* 20
base= 80 m   ans
