Question:

The base of a parallelogram is twice as long as its corresponding height. If the area of the parallelogram is 144 cm2 , find the mentioned height.

Options:

$2\sqrt{2}$ cm

$6\sqrt{2}$ cm

$3\sqrt{2}$ cm

$8\sqrt{2}$ cm

Correct Answer:

$6\sqrt{2}$ cm

Explanation:

We know that,

Area of parallelogram = Breadth × Height

We have,

Breadth = 2 × Height,

Area = 144 cm2

So according to the question,

= 144 = 2 (h×h)

= 72 = h2

= h = \(\sqrt {72}\)

= h = 6\(\sqrt {2}\) cm.
