The area of a parallelogram is 162 square meters. If its altitude is twice the corresponding base, find the length of the base?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 2
Area of parallelogram = b x h
According to question: h = 2b
Then, b x 2b = 162
2b2 = 162
b2 = 81
b = 9
Thus, the length of the base is 9 m
