For a parallelogram, the area is calculated by the equation,
A = bh
where A is area, b is base, and h is height. From this equation, we can solve for the base of the banner by dividing the area by the height.
base of the banner = 127.5 cm² / 4.25 cm
base of the banner = 30 cm
Thus, the measure of the base of the banner is equal to 30 cm.
