Question

The base of a parallelogram is half its height. The base measures 6 1/2 inches. Find the area of the parallelogram in square inches.

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation:

area of a triangle = base * height

let us take height to be 'x' then, base will be '2x'

since area = 512 cm

  512=(x)(2x)

 ( 2x)²=512

 x²=512/2

    =256

therfore 'x' = 16

now height='x' = 16

and, base= '2x' = 2* 16 = 32
