Find the value of x in each of the given figures.


Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
1) Given figure is a parallelogram
Area = 144 cm²
base * altitude = 144
16 * x = 144
x =144/16
x = 9 cm
2)2) Trapezium
Area = [tex]\frac{a+b}{2}*h[/tex] ; {a and b are parallel sides of trapezium}
( 37 +27 /2) * x = 480 cm²
64/2 * h = 480
32 * h = 480
h = 480/32
h = 15 cm
