Question

a parallelogram has an area of 160 square meters and a height of 4 meter. what is the length of the base of the parallellogram

Answer 1

40

Explanation:

the formula for area of a parallelogram is a = bh

you know area (a) = 160 and height (h) = 4, so:

160 = 4 * b

divide both sides of this equation by 4,

b = 40

the base is 40 meters long
