Question

The base of a parallelogram is 36 cm and its height is 24 cm. Find the height of a triangle having area equal to the parallelogram and base = 16 cm.

Answer 1

Area of the parellelogram

=bh=36x24=864 cm^2

Given, area of the parellelogram =Area of

the triangle

So,1/2x16xh=864

h=864x2x1/16

h=108 cm

Answer 2

Step-by-step explanation:

area of a parallelogram= (base×height)

= (36×24)

= 864 cm²

We know the base of the triangle = 16cm

area of a triangle= (1/2 × base × height)

[we know the area of parallelogram = area of triangle]

let the height be h.

1/2×16×h= 864

8×h. = 864

h= 108cm.
