Question

Use the formula A=bh, where A is the area, b is the base length, and h is the height of the parallelogram, to solve this problem. Ms. Susie ordered some tiles for her kitchen in the shape of a parallelogram. Each tile has an area of 108 square inches. The base of the tile measures 12 inches long. What is the height of the tile?

Answer 1

108=12*h
9=h
So the height is 9 inches

Answer 2

Using the given formula, we can fill in the numbers that we know:

108=12h

Now that we have one isolated variable, we can solve the equation.

h=9

The height of the tile is 9 square inches
