hi
let the base be b
height of a parallelogram is twice its base
=> then height = 2b
area of parlleolgram = l *b
=> that is 288 cm²
lets form an euqation
=>h * b = 288
=>2b * b = 288
=> 2b² = 288
=>b² = 288/2
=>b² = 144
b = √144
=>b = 12
since hieght is 2b
=>2*12
=>24cm
height = 24cm,base = 12cm
hope it helps u
:)
