Question 18

The area of a parallelogram is $60c{m}^2$ and one of its altitude is 5 cm. The length of its corresponding side is

(a) 12 cm
(b) 6 cm
(c) 4 cm
(d) 2 cm

Answer 1

Let the corresponding side be $acm$

Let the altitude be $hcm$

We know that,
$Areaof\parallel gm=Side\times Altitude$
$\Rightarrow 60=a\times h$
$\Rightarrow a\times h=60$
$\Rightarrow a\times 5=60$
$\Rightarrow a=\frac{60}{5}=12cm$
$\therefore a=12cm$
