Question

In a parallelogram the base and height are in the ratio of 5:2 if the area of the parallelogram is 360metres find its base and height​

Answer 1

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the base be 5x

Therefore height =2x

Area = 360 m. Sq

According to the question,

b×h=360 m

5x × 2x=360

10 x^2=360

x^2=360/10=36

x= square root of 36

x=6

Therefore,

base =5×6=30m

Height =2×6=12m

OR

area of parallelogram =b×h

5x×2x=360m

10x=360m

x=360m/10

x=36m

base=5×36

=180

height=2×36

=72

Answer 2

Answer:

area of a parallelogram = base × height

360 = 5x × 2x

360 = 10x^2

x^2 = 36

x = 6

base = 30

height = 12
