Question

➥ The base of a parallelogram is thrice its height. If the area is 897 sq.cm. Find the base and height of the parallelogram.

​

Answer 1

The height of parallelogram is 51.87 cm

Explanation:

Let The height of a parallelogram = a cm

Then

The base of a parallelogram = 3a cm

So by the given condition

3a×a = 897

3a^2 = 897

a^2 = 897/3

a^2 = 299

a = 17.29

So the height of parallelogram = 3×17.29= 51.87 cm
