Question

The ratio of the base and height of a parallelogram is 3 : 2. If the area of the parallelogram is 150 m², find the base and height.

Answer 1

Ratio of base and height of //gm = 3 : 2 = 3/2

Base = 3x, height = 2x


Area of //gm = base * height

150 = 2x * 3x

6x^2 = 150

x^2 = 150/6

x = √ 75 / 3

x = √ 25

x = 5 m

Base = 3x = 3* 5 = 15m

Height = 2x = 2 *5 = 10 m.

Answer 2

Heyyyy mate.....

here is your answer...

given,

Base and height of parallelogram in ratio= 3:2

let they are in X

area of parallelogram= Base × height

150m^²= 3x×2x

150m^²/6= X^²

X^²= 25. X= √25=5

now base of parallelogram= 5× 3= 15m

and height = 2× 5= 10m

hope it help you
