If the area of parallelogram is 22 cm2, base is (x + 5) cm and height of parallelogram is 9 cm less than its base, then find the height of the the parallelogram.1. 2 cm2. 6 cm3. 11 cm4. 15 cm

Answer» Correct Answer - Option 1 : 2 cm

Given:

Area of parallelogram = 22 cm2 

Base = (x + 5) cm

Height is 9 cm less than base

Formula used:

Area of parallelogram = Base × Height

Calculation:

Height of parallelogram = (x + 5) – 9 = x – 4 cm

Area of parallelogram = Base × Height

⇒ Area = (x + 5) × (x – 4)

⇒ 22 = x2 + x – 20

⇒ x2 + x – 42 = 0

⇒ x2 + 7x – 6x – 42 = 0

⇒ x × (x + 7) – 6 × (x + 7) = 0

⇒ (x + 7) × (x – 6) = 0

⇒ x = –7 and x = 6

Height = x – 4 = 6 – 4

∴ Height of parallelogram is 2 cm
