Question

In a parallelogram the base and height are is in the ratio of 5.2 if the parallelogram is 360 find its base and height

Answer 1

if the area of parallelogram is 360

let the base and height in ratio be x

area of parallelogram= b×h

360=5x × 2x

360=10 × x sq

360÷10=x sq

36=x sq

x=root 36

x= 6

base = 6 × 5 =30

height=6 × 2 =12
