Question

The area of a parallelogram is 338 m square. If its altitude is twice the corresponding base determine the base and altitude.

Open in App

Solution

Area of parallelogram = base × height
let base be x
so the altitude is 2x
area =(2x)×(x)
338=2x²
169=x²
x=13
hence the base is 13m
and the altitude is 26m
