Question

in a parallelogram.tha base and height are in ratio of 5:2 if the areaof the parallelogram is 360 m square , find its bases and height​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Area = bh

b =5/2 h

Area = 5/2 h h

360 = 5/2 h^2

144 = h^2

12 = h

base = 30

check.

30/12 is a 5/2 ratio of b/h

or

let the base be 5x and the height be 2x

(5x)(2x) = 360

10x^2 = 360

x^2 = 36

x = 6

so the base is 30 and the height is 12

Answer 2

Answer :

• Base = 30m
• Height = 12m

Given :

• In parallelogram the base and height are in the ratio is 5:2
• Area of parallelogram is 360m²

To find :

• Base and height

Solution :

• Let the base and height be 5x and 2x

Given that,

• Area of parallelogram is 360m²

As we know that ,

• Area of parallelogram = base × height

where , base is 5x and height is 2x

》5x × 2x = 360

》 10x² = 360

》 x² = 360/10

》 x² = 36

》 x = √36

》 x = 6m

Now we have to find the base and height ,

• Base = 5x = 5(6) = 30m
• Height = 2x = 2(6) = 12m

Hence , base and height is 30m and 12m
