Question

The area of a parallelogram is equal to the area of a square whose perimeter is 120m. If the height of the parallelogram is 20 m, find its corresponding base

Answer 1

hey bro i think this is the answer

perimeter of the square = 120 m

height of parallelogram = 20 m

base of parallelogram =120-20

                                      = 100

hope this answer is helpful.  

Answer 2

Let the parallelogram be ABCD and its height be AE=20cm

area of parallelogram =area of square
let the side of square be 'a'
perimeter of square =120cm

it implies that, 4a=120
a=30cm
area of square =a^2=30*30=900cm^2
area of (abcd)=900
Base*Height=900
20*base=900
base=45cm
