Question

Find the altitude of the parallelogram whose area is 8.64 m² and this is 3.6 m

Answer 1

Answer:

The altitude of the parallelogram will be 2.4 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Here the area of the parallelogram is given to be 8.64 m²

Also, one of its side is given to be 3.6 m

This side will be the base of the parallelogram

We have to find the altitude of the parallelogram

The area of a parallelogram is given by the product of its base and altitude

area of parallelogram = base × altitude

8.64 = 3.6 × altitude

altitude = 8.64/3.6

altitude = 2.4 m

Answer 2

Given,

• Area = 8.64 m²

• Base = 3.6 m

We know,

$\boxed{\sf{Area= Base \times Altitude }}$

$\boxed{\sf{\implies Altitude= \dfrac{Area}{Base}}}$

Applying values to the equation:

$\sf{\implies Altitude=\dfrac{8.64}{3.6}}$

$\sf{\implies Altitude=2.4}$

Therefore,

$\huge{\boxed{\sf{ Altitude = 2.4 \ m}}}$
