A parallelogram of area 48cm² is divided into two congruent triangle is 4cm, find the length of base of the triangle.
Given,
Area of a parallelogram= 48cm²
The parallelogram is divided into two congruent triangles.
Area of parallelogram= 2 (area of triangle)
Area of triangle= 48cm² ÷ 2
= 24cm²
Area of triangle= 1 ÷ 2 × base × heigh
24cm²= 1 ÷ 2 × base × 4cm
base= 12cm
So, measure of base of the triangle is 12cm.
