Let x be common ratio so
So ratio will be 2x and 1x
Area is 50 cm2 and
Area of parallelogram is length * altitude
Let us take 2x be length and 1x be altitude
Therefore according to problem
2x*x = 50
Multipltying like terms
2x^2 = 50
Dividing both side with 2...
x^2 = 25
So when square goes to other side of '=' it converts to square root and we will do the same
Square root of 25 is 5...
So
x = 5
....and finally the altitude is 5 cm.
