Question

The base and the corresponding altitude of a parallelogram are 35 cm
and 42 cm respectively. Find the area of a parallelogram.

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of parallelogram = Base × Height

The other parallel line will act as base for the other altitude.

Let, the other base be 'x'

So, using the formula for area of parallelogram for each base and altitude at a time, we get:

35×42=x×30

x=

30

35×42

x=49 cm

Therefore, length of the other pair of parallel sides is 49 cm
