1.	A square and a parallelogram have the same area. If a side of the square is 8 cm and the height of a parallelogram is 4 cm, then its base is ……………… cm. A) 18 B) 16 C) 8 D) 32
Answer» Correct option is B) 16 Area of square = a² = 8² = 64 cm² \(\therefore\) Area of parallelogram = 64 cm²(Given both areas are equal) ⇒ Base x height = 64 ⇒ Base = 64/height = 64/4 = 16 cm

A square and a parallelogram have the same area. If a side of the square is 8 cm and the height of a parallelogram is 4 cm, then its base is ……………… cm. A) 18 B) 16 C) 8 D) 32

Answer»

Correct option is B) 16

Area of square = a² = 8² = 64 cm²

\(\therefore\) Area of parallelogram = 64 cm²(Given both areas are equal)

⇒ Base x height = 64

⇒ Base = 64/height = 64/4 = 16 cm
