Question

The base of a parallelogram is thrice the height. If its area is 768 sq.cm , find the base and height.
Pls tell
​

Answer 1

Answer:

is given that,

Area of parallelogram = 768cm

2

Consider x as the height and 3x as the base of parallelogram.

So we get,

Area = base∗height

Substituting the values,

768=3x∗x

By further calculation,

768=3x

2

x

2

=768/3=256cm

x=

256

=16cm.

Height = x = 16cm

Base = 3x = 3∗16 = 48cm

Answer 2

Question

The base of a parallelogram is thrice the height. If its area is 768 sq.cm , find the base and height.

Answer :-

Area of the parallelogram = 768 cm2

Let the height of the parallelogram = x

Then base = 3x

∴ Area = Base x Height

⇒ 768 = 3x

⇒ 768 = 3x2

⇒ x2 = 768/3 = 256

Base = 3 x 16 -= 48 cm

and height = x = 16 cm

⫸hope it helps you
