PLZZZZZ HELLLLLPPPP QQQQUUUUIIIICCCKKK!!!!!

Holly drew the parallelogram below to represent the design of her new garden. She found that the area of the garden will be 127 1/2 square feet by using the equation, area=bh . If the height, h, of the parallelogram-shaped garden is 8 1/2 feet, what is the base, b, in feet?

Answer 1

C.15

Explanation:

Answer 2

The base is 15 ft.

Using the formula A=bh, we substitute the information we have. We know the area and the height:

127.5 = b(8.5)

Divide both sides by 8.5:
127.5/8.5 = b(8.5)/8.5
15 = b

The base is 15.
