A parallelogram has an area of 216.24 cm2

and a height of 15.9 cm.

How long is the base of the parallelogram?

Enter your answer as a decimal in the box.

Answer 1

200.34 cm²

Explanation:

Answer 2

13.6 cm

Explanation:

The area (A) of a parallelogram is calculated using the formula

A = bh ← b is the base and h the height

here A = 216.24 and h = 15.9, hence

15.9b = 216.24 ( divide both sides by 15.9 )

b =
`(216.24)/(15.9)` = 13.6 cm
