Q2 of 99 Page 269

The base of a parallelogram is twice its height. If the area of shape of parallelogram is 98 sq.cm, then let us calculate the length and height of parallelogram.

Given, The base of a parallelogram is twice its height the area of shape of parallelogram is 98 sq.cm.

Consider length of base = b


And height = h


According to given question, b = 2h ..(i)


Area of parallelogram = base × height


98 = b × h


From eq. (i),


98 = 2h ×h


98 = 2h2


h2=


h2 = 49


h =


h = 7cm


and base, b = 2h


b = 2 × 7


b = 14cm
