Question

The area of a parallelogram is 338 m2. If its altitude is twice the corresponding base, determine the base and altitude.

Answer 1

area of ||gm = 338 m2
area of ||gm = b*h
base= x
altitude = 2x
x*2x= 338
x=13m

Answer 2

Answer:

The base is 13 m and altitude is 26 m

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the base be x

Since we are given that its altitude is twice the corresponding base

So, Height = 2x

Formula of area of parallelogram = Base * height

Since we are given that The area of a parallelogram is 338 square m.

So, 338 = x(2x)

$338=2x^2$

$169=x^2$

$13=x$

Thus the base is 13 m

Altitude = 2*13 =26 m

Hence the base is 13 m and altitude is 26 m
