Question

Find the height h of the parallelogram.

A)1.75 units
B)1.5 units
C)1.175 units
D)1.125 units

Answer 1

1.125

Explanation:

1. Area=2.7*1.5;

2. Area=h*3.6;

3. 2.7*1.5=3.6*h; ⇒ h=2.7*1.5/3.6=1.125 units

Answer 2

Option- D. The height of the the given parallelogram is 1.125 units

Solution:

With the given data, we can find the area of the parallelogram.

The formula for the area of the parallelogram is
`(Base * Height)`

Now from the picture given, we can find the area of the parallelogram by taking 1.5 as base and 2.7 as height.

Or we can find the area by taking 3.6 as base and h as height. (as area is the same)

So, both the equations can be written as,

`1.5 * 2.7=3.6 * h`

`h=(1.5 * 2.7)/(3.6)=1.125`

`\therefore` The Height of parallelogram is 1.125.
