Question

If area of a parallelogram is is 72 cm square and base is15cm then find the altitude of the parallelogram.​

Answer 1

Answer:

The altitude of the parallelogram is $4.8$ cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : Area of a parallelogram = $72$ $cm^{2}$

            Base of parallelogram = $15$ cm

To find : The altitude of the parallelogram.​

Solution :

• It is given that the area of a parallelogram = $72$ $cm^{2}$

            Base of parallelogram = $15$ cm

• We have to find that the altitude of the parallelogram.​
• A parallelogram is consists of two pairs of opposite sides of equal lengths and their opposite angles are also equal.
• To find the altitude of the parallelogram, use the given data.
• The formula for area of a parallelogram is given by,

           Area of a parallelogram = $B*H$

                                        ∴ $72=15*H$

                                        ∴ $H = \frac{72}{15}$

                                        ∴ $H = 4.8$ cm

• ∴ The altitude of the parallelogram is $4.8$ cm.        

Answer 2

Here the value of area and base of a parallelogram are given

area = 72 cm²

base = 15 cm

We have to find the altitude of the parallelogram

area of parallelogram = base × altitude

72 = 15 × altitude

altitude = 72/15

altitude = 4.8

Hence, the measure of altitude of the parallelogram will be 4.8 cm
