Question

in a parallelogram the base and height are in the ratio of 5:2. If the area of the parallelogram is 360msquare, find it's base and height

Answer 1

Answer:

base=5x, height=2x

area= b*h

360= 5x*2x

360=10x*x

360/10=X2

36=X2

36=6

height=2*6=12

base=5*6=30

Answer 2

Answer:

area=base×hight

5x ×2x=360

10x=360

x=36

5x=5×36=180m

2x=2×36=72m
