Question

Find the altitude of parallelogram one of whose side is 10cm and its area is 0.7sq.m

Answer 1

Well, same kinda question,

area = base * height,

you got one side-length and the area with you, find the missing 'height'!

Answer 2

the base is nothing but one of the sides of the parallelogram, isn't it?

Answer 3

yeah!

Answer 4

so, what would the 'height' be?

Answer 5

700cm?

Answer 6

10cm*700cm=7000sq.cm=0.7sq.m

Answer 7

uh-oh!

if, area = base x height,

then, height = area/base --> right?

but you seem to have multiplied them. try again!

Answer 8

7000cm?

Answer 9

umm... a wee bit of a mistake.

area = 0.7 sq. m. = 7000 sq. cm.
base = 10 cm.

so what's area/base then?

Answer 10

700cm

Answer 11

???

Answer 12

is it 700cm?
