Question

In a parallelogram the base and height are in ratio 5:2. The area of the parallelogram is 360m² find it's base and height.

Answer 1

Let the base and height be 5x and 2x.
ACQ,
5x *2x = 360
x2 = 36
x = 6m.
Base = 30m
Height = 12m

Answer 2

Given ,
ratio of base and height is 5:2
let
it be 5x , 2x

area of parallelogram = 360m^2

ar ( //gm ) = bh

5x × 2x = 360m^2

10x^2 = 360

x^2 = 360/10

x^2 = 36

x ^2 = 6^2

x = 6

=> base = 5x = 5 × 6 = 30 m

=> height = 2x = 2 × 6 = 12m
