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 50cm, find the altitude.​

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

let the altitude be x

2x×x= 50

2x^2= 50

x^2=50/2

x^2=25

x = 5

2x= 2×5 = 10

x = 5

now 10×5 = 50

hence prooved.
