Question

L find the height of the parallelogram if base is 12cm and area is 96 CM square

Answer 1

Area of a parallelogram=base×height.

⇒54=15×height

⇒ height=

15

54

=

5

18

=3.6cm

∴ height of the parallelogram=3.6cm

Answer 2

Question:

Find the height of the parallelogram if base is 12cm and area is 96 CM square

Answer:

Base = 12 cm

Area = 96 cm²

Height = ?

$area \: of \: parallelogram \: = \frac{1}{2} \times base \times height$

• Substituting values…
• Let the height of the parallelogram = x

$96 = \frac{1}{2} \times 12 \times x$

$96 = \frac{1}{2} \times 12x$

$96 = \frac{12x}{2}$

• 2 and 12 will be cancelled…
• 2 will become 1
• 12 will become 6

$96 = 6x$

$\frac{96}{6} = x$

• 6 × 16 = 96… So,
• 6 will be cancelled to 1
• 96 will be cancelled to 16

$x = 16$

.°. Height of the Parallelogram = 16 cm
