Question

In a parallelogram, the base and the corresponding altitude are in the ratio of 4:5 and its area is 720cm2. Find the measure of its base and altitude.

Answer 1

Answer:

area of parallelogram= base×altitude

=4×5

=20 cm

Answer 2

Answer:

Base = 24 m & Altitude = 30 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the base be 4x & height be 5x

Area of parallelogram = base × height

⇒4x × 5x = 720

⇒20x2 = 720

⇒x2 = 36

x = 6

Base = 4x = 4*6 = 24 m & height = 5x = 5*6 = 30 m.
