The area of a parallelogram is `150cm^(2)`. If the ratio of its base and corresponding altitude is `3 : 2`, find the length of base and altitude

Answer» Let base of the parallelogram = 3x
and corresponding altitude = 2x
`:.` area of parallelogram `= (3x) (2x)`
`rArr 6x^(2) = 150`
`rArr x^(2) = 25`
`rArr x = 5`
`:. 3x = 3 xx 5 = 15`
and `2x = 2 xx = 10`
`:.` Base of parallelogram `= 15 cm`
and corresponding altitude = 10 cm
