Question

the area of a parallelogram is98cm square. if one altitude is half the corresponding base, determine the base and the altitude of the parallelogram

​

Answer 1

Answer:

Hi ,

Let

the base of the parallelogram = b cm

Corresponding altitude ( h ) = b/2 cm

Area = 98 cm² ( given )

base × altitude = 98

b × b/2 = 98

b² = 196

b = √196

b = 14 cm

Therefore ,

Base ( b ) = 14 cm

Attitude ( h ) = b/2 = 14/2 = 7 cm

I hope this helps you.

Answer 2

Answer:

Altitude=14m

base=7 m
