Question

The base and altitude of a parallelogram are in the ratio 2 : 3 . If the area of the field is 3456 sq.m, then find the base and the altitude of the parallelogram.​

Answer 1

Answer:

Base= 48m and Altitude = 72 m

Step-by-step explanation:

We know area of parallelogram is base × altitude

Given ratio= 2:3

Base =2x and Altitude= 3x

Given area= 3456 sq.m

2x × 3x = 3456

6x²= 3456

x²= 3456/6

x²= 576

x= 24 m

Therefore, base = 2x= 48m

Altitude= 3x= 72.
