Question

The area of the parallelogram is (4x+16)(4x+16) square feet. write an expression for the base. expression for the base: 16x ft

Answer 1

`base=(4x+16)/(height)` which is the required expression.

Explanation:

We have been given the area of parallelogram which is (4x+16)

And the formula for area of parallelogram is
`base\cdot height`

Hence, when we substitute the value if area of parallelogram in the formula we get:

`4x+16=base\cdot height`

Now, rearranging the terms so, as to get the expression for the base or value of base in terms of height and area we get:

`base=(4x+16)/(height)` which is the required expression.

Answer 2

The area of a parallelogram is given by base * height.

Given that the parallelogram has an area of 4x + 16,

i.e. base * height = 4x + 16.

Therefore, an expression for the base of the parallelogram is given by


`Base= (4x+16)/(height) \ ft`
