Question

the base of a rectangle is thrice its height. if the area in hectares is 768cm.find the base and the height of the rectangle.​

Answer 1

Answer:

It 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.
