Answer:
Breadth = 15 m
Height = 30 m
Step-by-step explanation:
Given, \frac{Base of the Parallelogram}{Height of the Parallelogram}
HeightoftheParallelogram
BaseoftheParallelogram
= \frac{1}{2}

1
cross multiply the terms,
Height = 2 x Base of the Parallelogram
for simplicity we will assume Height = h and Base =b
then h = 2b----------------------------equation 1
they already given the area of the Parallelogram = 450 m^{2}m
2
Area of Parallelogram = Base x Height
450 = bh
450 = b x (2b) {substituted the value of h from equation 1 ]
450 = 2b^{2}b
2
225 = b^{2}b
2
b = \sqrt{225}
225
= 15 m = Base of the Parallelogram
substitute the value of b in Equation 1 to get h (Height)
h = 2b = 2 x 15 = 30 m
Hence,
Base of the parallelogram = 15 m
Height of the Parallelogram = 30 m
