Question

A parallelogram has an area of 216.24 cm22 and a height of 15.9 cm. How long is the base of the parallelogram? Enter your answer as a decimal

Answer 1

Explanation:

Given: A parallelogram has an area of
`216.24cm^2` and a height of
`15.9cm`.

To find: The base of the parallelogram.

Solution: We are given the area and the height of the parallelogram, therefore

Area of parallelogram=Base×height

⇒
`216.24=Base{*}15.9`

⇒
`(216.24)/(15.9)=Base`

⇒
`13.6cm=Base`

Thus, the value of the base of the parallelogram is 13.6cm.
