Question

A parallelogram has equal area that of triangle, If their base is same and of length 10cm, then find the height of triangle if area of parallelogram is 80$c{m}^2$

• A. 8 cm
• B. 10 cm
• C. 16 cm
• D. 32 cm

Answer 1

The correct option is C 16 cm

Area of parallelogram = Area of triangle
80 = $\frac{1}{2}$$\times$base$\times$height
80 = $\frac{1}{2}$$\times$10$\times$height
Height = $\frac{80\times 2}{10}$ = $\frac{160}{10}$ = 16 cm
