Let the base of the parallelogram be 5X and the height of the parallelogram be 2X
Area 5X x 2x 10x 360 m square
10xa 360
square 360 by 10 equal to 36
X square root of 36 equal to 6
Base 5X 5 (6) equal to 36 cm
Height 2X 2 (6) equal to 12cm
Area 5X x 2x 10x 360 m square
10xa 360
square 360 by 10 equal to 36
X square root of 36 equal to 6
Base 5X 5 (6) equal to 36 cm
Height 2X 2 (6) equal to 12cm
