Answer:
Explanation:
The trick here (and it is tricky!) is to find the area of the parallelogram as a whole based on the information you're given, and then use that area to solve for h. If we look at the parallelogram sideways and use 5.5 as the height, the base is 9.9. The area for a parallelogram is A = bh, so A = 9.9(5.5) so
A = 54.45 in squared. Now we will use that area value along with the height of h and the base of 11. Remember, just because we are using different numbers this time, the area of the parallelogram doesn't change. Therefore,
54.45 = 11(h) and
h = 4.95 in.
