Question

The area of a parallelogram is 100 cm². If the base is 25 cm, then the corresponding height is

(a) 4 cm (b) 6 cm (c) 10 cm (d) 5 cm

Answer 1

Let b = 25 cm and h be the base and the corresponding height of the parallelogram. Then
Area of parallelogram = b $\text{×}$ h
$\text{⇒}$ 100 = 25 $\text{×}$ h
$\text{⇒}$ h = 4 cm
Hence, the correct option is (a).
