Question

How long is the base of a parallelogram if it has an area of 100 m2 and a height of 5 m? Enter your answer in the box.

Answer 1

So, we know the area formula of a parallelogram
Area = Base x Height
We have two values which are given;
Area = 100 m²
Height = 5 m
Now, we have to plug in the given values to find the missing, which in this case, is the base

100 = Base x 5
To find the value of base, we have to bring 5 to the other side, since it is multiplied, we do the reverse function, which is division.


`(100)/(5) = (5(Base))/(5)`
5 and 5 cancels out in the right hand side

20 = Base

The base is 20 m long

Answer 2

The answer is 20 m given Volume of 100m² and height of 5m.
