Answer 2

Given :-

• Ratio of Base and Height in a Parallelogram is 5:2
• Area of Parallelogram = 360m²

To Find :-

• Base and Height of Parallelogram

Solution :-

⟾ Let the Base of Parallelogram be 5x

⟾ Let the Height of Parallelogram be 2x

According to the Question :

➟ Area of Parallelogram = Base × Height

➟ 360 = 5x × 2x

➟ 360 = 10x²

➟ 360 / 10 = x²

➟ 36 = x²

➟ √36 = x

➟ 6m = x

________________

Therefore :

• Base = 5x = 5 × 6 = 30m
• Height = 2x = 2 × 6 = 12m
