The area of a parallelogram is 162 square meters. If its altitude is twice the corresponding base, find the length of the base?

8 meters

7 meters

9 meters

10 meters

Answer : Option C

Explanation :

Area of a parallelogram = (Base * Height)

Let the length of the base is = X

Then, the altitude or height is = 2X

So, Area: X * 2X = 162 sq. m.

2X² = 162

X² = 81

X = 9 meters (length of the base).
