Question

The ratio of base and height of a parallelogram is 1:2. If the area of the parallelogram is 450m², Then find the base and the height of the parallelogram.

Answer 1

$area = 450m {}^{2} \\ base = 1x \\ height = 2x \\ area \: of \: parallelogram = 1 \div 2 \times b \times h \\ 450 = 1 \div 2 \times x \times 2x \\ 450 \times 2 = 2x {}^{2} \\ 450 \times 2 \div 2 = x {}^{2} \\ 450 = x {}^{2}$

Answer 2

Answer:

The ratio of base and height of a parallelogram is 1:2. If the area of the parallelogram is 450m², Then find the base and the height of the parallelogram.
