Question

The area of a parallelogram is 72 cm2. If the base of the parallelogram is twice its altitude, then find its dimensions. PLZ ANSWER!!!!

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Area = 72cm

Let altitude be x

then base = 2x

Area = b*h

72 = 2x * x

72 = 2x^2

x^2 = 72/2

x^2 = 36

x = √36

x = 6

Altitude= 6

Base= 6*2= 12

Answer 2

Answer:

Answer:

• Base of a parallelogram=12cm
• Altitude of a parallelogram=6cm

Given:

• The area of a parallelogram=72sq.cm
• And base of a parallelogram is twice its altitude.

To find:

• The dimensions of a parallelogram.

Solution:

Since,

Base of a parallelogram(b) is twice its altitude(h).

b=2h

Area of the parallelogram=b×h

$b \times h = 72$

$2h \times h = 72$

$2 {h}^{2} = 72$

${h}^{2} = 36$

$h = 6$

So, The altitude of a parallelogram,h=6cm

$base \: of \: a \: parallelogram = 2h = 12cm$
