Question

In a parallelogram the base and height are in the ratio of 5:2.If the area of the parallelogram is 360 meter square,find its base and height

Answer 1

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
I hope it helps u...
Pls mark as brainliest if it helps....

Answer 2

area of parallelogram =b×h
5x×2x=360m
10x=360m
x=360m/10
x=36m
base=5×36
=180
height=2×36
=72
