Question

Find the altitude of a parallelogram whose area is 2.25 m and base is 250 cm

Answer 1

SOLUTION :

The area of parallelogram = 2.25 m   (given)

The base of the parallelogram = 250 cm = 250 ÷ 100 = 2.5 m   (given)

To be found :-

The altitude of the parallelogram

We know that,

Area of parallelogram = base × altitude

⇒ 2.25 = 2.5 × altitude

⇒ 2.25 ÷ 2.5 = altitude

⇒ 0.9 = altitude

Hence,

Altitude of the parallelogram is 0.9 m = 90 cm
