The base of a parallelogram is twice its height. If the area of the parallelogram is 338 cm2, then find its height (in cm)
Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Explanation
The correct answer is Option 2 i.e. 13.
Let the height be h cm. Since the base is twice the height, the base will be 2h cm
We know that,
Area of parallelogram = Base × Height
⇒ 338 = 2h × h
⇒ 338 = 2h2
⇒ h2 = 169
⇒ h = 13
Thus,
The height of the parallelogram is 13 cm
