Answer:
area of parallelogram=base multiply by height
450= X multiply 2x
450= 2Xsquare
450/2= X square
225=X square
under root 225 = X
X = 15=base
so,base=15 cm and height = 2X means 2Multiply15=30
height = 30

Given:
- A Parallelogram whose altitude is twice the base.
- Area of Parallelogram = 450 cm²
To Find:
- The altitude and base of the given Parallelogram.
Solution:
Let the base and altitude of Parallelogram be
Base = b cm
Altitude = h cm
According to the Question :
h = 2.b - - - - - - - - - ( 1 )
Area of Parallelogram = 450 cm²
b x h = 450 cm² - - - - - - ( 2 )
Using equation ( 1 ) in ( 2 ) we get
b x 2b = 450 cm²
2b² = 450 cm²
b² = 225 cm²
b = 15 cm
Putting b = 15 cm in equation ( 1 ) we get
h = 2.( 15 ) cm
h = 30 cm
Hence Base of Parallelogram is 15 cm
And Altitude of Parallelogram is 30 cm
