Question:

The area of a parallelogram is 162 square meters. If its altitude is twice the corresponding base, find the length of the base?

Options:

10m

9 m

8 m

7 m

Correct Answer:

9 m

Explanation:

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
