I wanted to delete my awnser sorry

Answer 2

Explanation:

Let's make a simple equation! It's much, much simpler than you think. Let's look closely.

Area = Base x Height

We already know the area, so we can substitute this already.

72 = Base x Height

We also know the height, 6.

72 = Base x 6

We can now replace "base" as x to make it simpler to solve the equation we made!

6x = 72

x = 12

The base of the parallelogram is 12 inches.
