Question

The base of parellogram is twice its height . if the area is 648msq find its base and height

Answer 1

h=18m, b=2m

Explanation:

Let the base be b and height be h

Condition 1:

b=2h ----(1)

Condition 2:

Area=b*h

b*h=648 -----(2)

Putting (1) into (2)

2h*h=648

2h^2=648

Dividing both sides by 2

h^2=324

Taking sq root on both sides

h=18 m

Now

Putting value of h in eq (1)

b=2(18)

b=36 m
