Question

The area of a parallelogram is 44.4 square feet and its height is 7.4 feet. What is the length of the base? Do not round your answer.

Answer 1

The area of a parallelogram is A=bh

By isolating b, we can find the value

A=bh
b=
`(A)/(h)`
b=
`(44.4)/(7.4)`
b= 6 ft

The base is 6 ft long

Answer 2

The length of base is 6 feet.

Explanation:

Given : The area of a parallelogram is 44.4 square feet and its height is 7.4 feet.

We have to find the length of the base of parallelogram.

Consider the given parallelogram

Area = 44.4 ft²

and height = 7.4 ft

Area of parallelogram = base × height

Substitute, we have,

44.4 = 7.4 × base

Divide both side by 7.4 , we have,

base = 6 ft

Thus, The length of base is 6 feet.
