Question
The area of a parallelogram is 120 sq.cm and its altitude is 10 cm. Find the length of the base.
Hint:
we know the formula for area of parallelogram = base × height
Substitute the given values in the formula to find the length of the base.
The correct answer is: 12 cm
Ans :- 12 cm.
Explanation :-
Given, area of parallelogram = 120 sq.cm
Altitude (or) height = 10 cm
Therefore, the length of the base is 12 cm.

Note:
Instead of adding 2 on both sides, we can also understand the concept by taking -2 of the right hand side on the left hand side and then the sign changes to + 2 . Similarly, instead of subtracting both sides by , we can understand it by saying that we take + x from the left hand side to the right hand side, and here it becomes - x .
Thus, addition becomes subtraction and vice-versa when taken from left hand side to right hand side or the opposite way; and multiplication becomes division and vice-versa. Be careful, 0 is never taken in the denominator.

One hundred park-district members will be selected to participate in a survey about selecting a new park-district coordinator. Which of the following methods of choosing the 100 members would result in a random sample of members of the park district?
Note:
The method given is option A is called simple random sampling. Some other methods of random sampling are stratified random sampling, cluster random sampling and systematic random sampling.
Infact, there is further categorisation of simple random sampling- probability and non-probability sampling.

Two polygons are considered to be congruent if the sides and angles match. When two sides or angles have the same length are considered to be congruent. We demonstrate that the angles are congruent by inserting the same slash marks through each one.
The symbol for congruence is ≅ and can be written as △ABC ≅ △DEF. ∠A is equivalent to ∠D, ∠B to ∠E, and ∠C to ∠F. Side AB corresponds to DE, BC to EF, and AC to DF.
Two triangles are formed with three sides that are congruent. Triangles are congruent if all three pairs of corresponding sides are congruent.
