Question

If the base of a parallelogram is equal to 14 cm and the area is 70 sq.cm, then find its height.​

Answer 1

Answer:

We can draw any number of parallelograms with base 14 cm and height 7 cm. The information about area is redundant.

Even a rectangle (a special type of parallelogram) can be drawn with length (= base = 14 cm) and breadth (= height = 7 cm)

So, the parallelogram is not unique. By this we mean that even though the base is fixed, the length of the adjacent side can be made to change notwithstanding the fact that the height is also given.

The perimeter, therefore, cannot be ascertained

Answer 2

Answer:

5 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

Base of Parallelogram :- 14 cm

Area of Parallelogram :- 70 cm²

Height :- ?

Area of Parallelogram = Base × Height

70 = 14 × Height

70/14 = Height

5 cm= Height

Therefore,The Height of the parallelogram is 5 cm.
