Question

The length of a parallelogram is 392m^2
If its altitude is thrice the corresponding base. Determine the base and the altitude.

Answer 1

Given ,
area of parallelogram = 392 m^2
Let ,
base of the IIgm be 'x'
and altitude be '3x'
now,
area of IIgm = 392m^2
=> base × height = 392
=> x × 3x = 392
=> 3x^2 = 392
=> x^2 = 392%3
=> x^2 = 13.66
=> x = 3.69
. ' . length of the base = x = 3.69 m
and length of thealtitude =3x= 3×3.69= 11.07
