Question

The base of parallelogram is twice its height.If the area is 512 cm square find the base and the height.

Answer 1

Area=bh
let height be x then base will be 2x
    512 = x*2x
    2x(square) = 512
    x (square) = 512/2
    x (square) = 256
    x = (root over)256
    x = 16
  therefore height= 16mts , base = 2*16 = 32mts

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:area of parallelogram is base x height,

Let height be h so base is 2h,

This implies 2h^2 = 512

Which gives h = 16 and b=32
