The area of a parallelogram is 72 m2 and its altitude is twice the corresponding base. What will be
the length of the base?
a) 6 m
c) 10 m
d) 12 m
108m​

Answer 1

Answer:

a) 6m

Step-by-step explanation:

Let the base be x.

Then, altitude=2x

Area of the parallelogram=a*b

=x*2x

=2x²

So, 2x²=72

x²=72/2

=36

x=√36

=±6

As length can't be negative, base=6m

Hope it helps
