Question

21. If the area of the plane shape below is
36cm, find its height.​

Answer 1

Answer:

4 cm

Step-by-step explanation:

The figure is a parallelogram with area (A) calculated as

A = bh ( b is the base and h the perpendicular height )

Here A = 36 and b = 9 , thus

9h = 36 ( divide both sides by 9 )

h = 4 cm

Answer 2

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

considering the breadth of the shape as 5cm and length as 9cm...

now... for finding the height of the plane shape...

we need to use the formula for area of a trapezium...

so. area of a trapezium = 1/2 x height x sum of parallel sides

we are given area of trapezium = 36cm^2

SO SUBSTITUTING THE EQUATION...

36 = 1/2 x height x (9+9)

height = 4cm
