Question

the base of a parallelogram is thrice its height. if its area is 867m square, find the length of the base and height of the parallelogram.

Answer 1

Let the height be x meter. then the base will be 3x meter
Area of //gm=base × height
According to question–>
867=x ×3x
=>867=3x²
=>867÷3=x²
=>289=x²
=>
$\sqrt{867} = x$
=>17=x
Then,
Height =x metre=17m
Base=3x metre=(3×17)m
=51m
