Question

parallelogram the base and its corresponding attitude are in the ratio of 5 : 2. if the area of the program is 360 metres square find the base and altitude

Answer 1

Let the base be 5X and altitude be 2X
Area of parrellelogram =360
Base *height =360
5X*2X=360
10XSq.=360
Xsq =360/10=36
X=6
Base =5X=5*6=30
Altitude =2X=2*6=12
HOPE IT WILL HELP YOU

Answer 2

since tge ratio of base to height is 5:2.
let the common factor be x
therefore, base=5x and height=2x

as we know,
area of llgm=base×height
therefore 360=5x×2x
360=10x^2
x^2=360/10
rherefore x= 6

so base is 5×6= 30
height = 2×6=12

hence proved
