Question

If the area of a parallelogram is 140 square units and the height of the parallelogram is 10 units then what is its base?

Answer 1

14 units

Explanation:

The formula for area of a parallelogram is

A = bh where b is the base and h is the height. We are given A = 140 and

h = 10, plug them in and solve for b

140 = 14b

10 = b (divide by 14 on both sides)
