Answer:
Height = 11 inches
Base = 33 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
In this question, we are asked to find the height and base of a parallelogram given the area of the parallelogram.
From the question, we are told that height is 1/3 of base. This means that base is 3 times the height
So if we represent the height with variable h, then the base is 3h
Mathematically the area of a parallelogram can be calculated by the formula
A = bh
Thus ,
363 = h * 3h
3h^2 = 363
divide through by 3
h^2 = 121
h = √121
h = 11 inches
since b = 3h , then b = 3 * 11 = 33 inches
So 30/48=15/(x+9)
this could be easily solved by recognizing the proportion (the other way is usiing full algebra and doing multiply both sides by 48(x+9) and then divide both sides by 30 then subtract 9)
30 is 2 times of 15
therefor 48 is 2 times of (x+9)
48=2 times (x+9)
divide both sides by 2
24=x+9
subtract 9
15=x
x=15
Concentric as they have same center
