The area of a parallelogram is 1352 m2. If its height is twice the corresponding base, what is its base?
Answer & explanation
Correct answer: option 1
The correct answer is Option (1) → 26 m
The area of a parallelogram is base × height, where the height is measured at right angles to that base.
Let the base be \(b\); then the height is \(2b\)
\(b\times2b=1352\), so \(2b^2=1352\)
\(b^2=676\), so \(b=26\) m
