Question

The formula a equals BH can be used to find the area of a PARALLELOGRAMwith base beat the and height H the PARALLELOGRAM shown has an area of 56 in.? what is the length of the base

Answer 1

B = 56 / H

Explanation:

1) The area of a parallelogram = BH

2) 56 inch squared = Base x Height

3) To leave base by itself you need to do the same to both sides of the equation - in this case divide by the height.

4) This leaves us with 56/H = Base
