Question

In a parallelogram the base is three times its height. If the height is 8 cm then the area is _________ * 1 point a) 64 sq.cm b) 192 sq.cm c) 32 sq.cm d) 72 sq.cm​

Answer 1

Answer:

192cm square..

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Given :

• Base of a parallelogram is three times it's height.

• Height is given as 8 cm.

‎

‎

To find :

• The area of the parallelogram.

‎

Concept :

For calculating area of the parallelogram we have got a formula which follows as :

$\bf\maltese$ $\bf\:Area~of~parallelogram~=~b \times h‎$

where, b denotes base and h denotes height of the parallelogram.

So in this question we are given the relation between height and base of the parallelogram using which we would acquire our final answer.

Hope m clear let's solve !~

‎

Assumption :

Let -

• The height of the parallelogram be h

‎

‎

Solution :

We are said -

Base of a parallelogram is three times it's height.

$\sf\therefore\:Base~=~3 \times h$

Substituting the value of height as 8

$\sf\longrightarrow\:Base~=~3 \times 8$

$\small{\underline{\boxed{\mathrm{\longrightarrow~Base~=~24~cm}}}}$

‎

Now knowing both base and height lets calculate the area of the parallelogram applying the formula -

$\sf\:Area~=~b~\times~h$

Substituting the values

$\sf\to\:Area~=~24~\times~8$

$\small{\underline{\boxed{\mathrm{\small{\mathfrak\orange{\to\:Area~=~192~sq~cm}}}}}}$

═══════════════════

$\sf\therefore\:The~correct~option~is~(b)~i.e~192~sq~cm~$.
