Question

46Which object has a taller height based on the given information?Object A: a parallelogram with an area of 60m2 and a base of 10mObject B: a parallelogram with an area of 40m2 and a base of 4mObject AObject B

Answer 1

B

1) As we have some dimensions and the area of both parallelograms. Let's use the Area of a parallelogram to find out which one has a taller height:

A)

$\begin{gathered} A=b\cdot h \\ 60=10h \\ h=\frac{60}{10} \\ h=6\text{ m} \end{gathered}$

As for B we have:

$\begin{gathered} A_B=b\cdot h \\ 40=4h \\ h=\frac{40}{4} \\ h=10 \end{gathered}$

2) Hence the tallest parallelogram is the B parallelogram
