Question
The area of a parallelogram is 60 cm2 and one of its altitudes is 5 cm. The length of its corresponding side is ______.
Options
12 cm
6 cm
4 cm
2 cm
Solution
The area of a parallelogram is 60 cm2 and one of its altitudes is 5 cm. The length of its corresponding side is 12 cm.
Explanation:
We know that,
Area of a parallelogram = Side × Altitude
⇒ a × h = 60
⇒ a × 5 = 60
⇒ a = `60/5`
∴ a = 12 cm
