Question
The base of a parallelogram is thrice of its height .If the area of the parallelogram is 2187 sq.cm , find its height .
Hint:
Given , the base of the parallelogram is thrice the height . find the relation and
use in the formula area of parallelogram = base × height
The correct answer is: 27cm
Ans :- 27 cm
Explanation :-given area of parallelogram = 2187 sq.cm
Step 1:-find the relation between height and base
Let height be h
Given , the base of the parallelogram is thrice the height i.e base = 3h.
Step 2:- Find the area of Parallelogram
Area of parallelogram = base × height = 3h × h = 3h2
Therefore, the height of the parallelogram = 27 cm.

The load capacity of a certain washing machine is 12 pounds. What is the approximate load capacity of the same washing machine, in kilograms?
( 1 kilogram = 2.2046 pounds)
Note:
There are many other units of weight such as ton, ounce, gram, stone, grain, milligram, etc. There is conversion formula for each of these pairs, for eg.
1 kilogram = 35.27 ounce= 0.16 stone= 1000 gram
1 pound= 16 ounce= 0.07 stone= 435.60 gram
