Question

The area of an agricultural farm is 100 hectares. If the farm is in the shape of a parallelogram whose
one side is 2500m, find the corresponding altitude.

Answer 1

$\red{\textbf{Answer :- 4000m}}$

Step-by-step explanation:

$\blue{\textbf{Given}}$

$\textbf{Area of an agricultural farm = 100 hec.}$

$= 100 \times 100000 {m}^{2}$

$= {10}^{7} \: {m}^{2}$

$\textbf{side of parallelogram = 2500m}$

$\green{\textbf{Area of parallelogram :-}}$

$\textbf{Base × height}$

${10}^{7} = 2500 \times h$

$\Large\ h \: = \frac{1 {0}^{7} }{2500}$

$= 4000m$

$\textbf{so , the corresponding altitude is 4000m}$

$\red{\textbf{More information :-}}$

• The area of a parallelogram is given by the formula,
• Area = b a
• where
• b is the length of any base
• a is the corresponding altitude
