Question

The Area of a parallelogram is same
that of a Rectangle with dimension to 40 cm by
12 cm. if the base of a parallelogram is
16 cm. find the height of the
Parallelogram is 16 cm . find the height of the parallelogram.​

Answer 1

Answer:

• Height of the parallelogram is 30cm.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that,

Area of a rectangle = Area of a parallelogram.

Here, Dimensions of the rectangle is 40cm by 12cm. The area of the rectangle is equal to that of the parallelogram. We need to find the height if the ||gm (parallelogram)

We know that,

➪ Area of a rectangle = $l \times b$

We have,

$l$ (length) = 40cm

$b$ (breadth) = 12cm

And also,

Area of a parallelogram is given by :

→ b × h

We have,

b (base) = 16cm.

h (height) = ?

$\begin{gathered}\underline{\:\boldsymbol{\bigstar According\:to\:the\:question\::}}\ \ \end{gathered}$

⇒ Area of the rectangle = Area of the parallelogram

⇒ (40 × 12)cm² = 16 × h

⇒ 480cm² = 16h

⇒ 480 = 16h

⇒ h = 30cm.

$\therefore$ Height of the parallelogram is 30cm
