Question

The area of a parallelogram is 185.712 sq.cm and height is 5.3 cm. Find the corresponding
base.
​

Answer 1

Answer:

$area \: of \: parellelogram \: = b \times h \\ 185.712 = b \times 5.3 \\ \frac{185.712}{5.3} = b \\ 35.04 \: cm = b$

Answer 2

Answer:

Here's your answer.

We know that area of a parallelogram = b X h, where b = base and h = height.

Now, we are given its area, i.e., 185.712 cm²; and, its height, i.e., 5.3 cm.

Putting the values in the formula, we get:

A = b X h

⇒ 185.712 = 5.3 (b)

⇒ 185.712 / 5.3 = (b)   ---------------(Transfering values from RHS to LHS)

⇒ 35.04 = (b)

⇒ Or, the base of the given parallelogram = 35.04 cm

Hope, this helps.
