Question

if the area of a parallelogram is 144cmsquare and the base is 9cm then its height is

Answer 1

Let the height be h
Base = 9cm
Area of parallelogram = 144cm

Now , Area of parallelogram = Base * Height
144 = 9 * h
h = 144/9
h= 16 cm

Answer 2

Given :

• Area of parallelogram = 144cm²
• Base of parallelogram = 9cm

To Find :

• Height of Parallelogram

Solution :

$\longmapsto\tt{Height=?}$

Using Formula :

$\boxed{Area\:of\:Parallelogram=base\times{height}}$

Putting Values :

$\longmapsto\tt{144=9\times{h}}$

$\longmapsto\tt{\cancel\dfrac{144}{9}=h}$

$\longmapsto\tt\bold{h=16}$

So, The height of the parallelogram is 16cm.

VERIFICATION :

$\longmapsto\tt{108=base\times{height}}$

$\longmapsto\tt{108=9\times{16}}$

$\longmapsto\tt\bold{108=108}$
