Question

Find the base length of a parallelogram (in meter) if the area is $24m^2$ and the corresponding height is 8 m.

• A. 3
• B. 4
• C. 5
• D. 1

Answer 1

The correct option is A 3

$\text{Area of a parallelogram}=\text{Base}\times \text{corresponding height}$

Therefore, $\text{Base}=\frac{\text{Area of a parallelogram}}{\text{Corresponding height}}$

$\text{Base}=\frac{24}{8}=3m$
$\therefore$ Base length of the parallelogram is 3 m.
