Question

DP and BQ are the altitude on sides ab and ad respectively of parallelogram ABCD if AB is 45 cm and BC is 30 cm and the area of the parallelogram is 360 cm square find the length of BQ and DP.​

Answer 1

BQ = 8 cm and DP = 12 cm

In llgm ABCD

AB = 45 cm

AD = 30 cm

Area of the llgm = 360 cm^2

so,

area of  llgm = base×height

so if we take base as AD and height as Dp then

30×DP = 360

DP= 12 cm

since,

if we take Base as AB and height as BQ then ,

45 × BQ = 360

BQ = 8 cm

so the answers are BQ = 8 cm and DP = 12 cm
