The area of a parallelogram is found using the equation:


a = b * h

where a is the area, b is the base, and h is the height. Substitute the known values into the equation.


26 (1)/(2) = b * 6 (5)/(8)

Solve for b.


26.5 / 6.625 = b


b = 4

The base of the parallelogram is equal to 4.

I don't know if this is the right answer though lol
