Question

In a parallelogram the ratio of a side to the altitude drawn to that side is 2:1. If the area of the parallelogram

Answer 1

Answer:

The answer is 5.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Accurate Question -

In a parellelogram,the ratio of a side to the altitude drawn to that side is 2:1 . If the area of the parellelogram is 50 cm,find the altitude.

To Find -

The Altitude.

Solution -

Consider the -

Common ratio as -  x.

Hence, ratio will be 2x and 1x

Now,

Area is 50 cm²

As we know,

Area of parallelogram =  Length × Altitude.

Now,

Consider the -

Altitude - 1x

Length - 2x

ATQ,

⇒ 2x × x = 50

Now,

⇒ 2x² = 50

Dividing with 2,

⇒ x² = 25

⇒ x = √25

⇒ 5.

∴ The answer is 5.

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

Your question have some missings. So, I write the correct question here.

Question:

In a parallelogram the ratio of a side to the altitude drawn to that side is 2:1. If the area of the parallelogram is 50 cm then find the value of the altitude of the parallelogram.

Solution:

Let us consider the ratio as x.

So, the ratio will be 2x and x.

Given,

Area of the parallelogram = 50 cm²

As we know that, how to find the area of parallelogram. So the formula of finding the area of the parallelogram is:

Area of parallelogram = Length of the parallelogram × Altitude of the parallelogram

Now,

Let the altitude be x.

and, the length be 2x.

According to the question,

=> 2x × x = 50

=> 2x² = 50

On dividing by 2,

50 is cancelled and converted into 25.

=> x² = 25

=> x = √25

=> x = 5

Therefore, the altitude of the parallelogram is 5 cm.
