Question

The area of a parallelogram is equal to the area of a square whose each side measure 15m. Find the height corresponding to the base 25 m in the parallelogram.

Answer 1

Area of given square- (side)²= 15²= 225 m²

Area of parallelogram= 1/2×base×height

225 = 1/2×25×h

225÷5 =1/2 ×h{since,area of square = area of parallelogram}

9=1/2×h

4.5 m=height of parallelogram.

Answer 2

first find the area of the square by multiplying 15 and 15

you'll get the answer, 225

then find the height of the parallelogram by using that answer.

area = 0.5*b*h

225 = 0.5*25*h

h = 225/(0.5*25)

h = 18 m
