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. Mr. Bill orders a parallelogram-shaped window for one of the rooms in the house he is building. The window has an area of 1440 in². The height of the window is 32 inches. What is the length of the base of the window?

Answer 1

45 inches

Explanation:

The formula we have is A = bh. Substituting the information we are given, we have

1440 = b(32)

Divide both sides by 32:

1440/32 = b(32)/32

45 = b

The length of the base is 45 inches.

Answer 2

A=bh
1440=b(32)
1440/32=b(32)/32
base=45 inches
