Question

A parallelogram has an area of 144 square centimeters. If the base measures 24 centimeters, what is the height?

Answer 1

The height is 6.

Explanation:

To find the answer, identify the dimensions you have and what you to find. We have the area (144) and base (24) and we need to find the height. To find the height, you must divide area by the base (it's really simple).

Ex.

`144 / 24 = ?\\144 / 24 = 6`

The quotient you found is the height. Therefore, the answer is 6.
