Question

What is the missing length?area = 744 mi^2.z = ____ miles

Answer 1

The formula to find the area of a parallelogram is given as

`a=b* h`

where

a = area

b = base length

h = perpendicular height

From the question, we have the following values:

a = 744 mi²

b = z

h = 24 mi

Substituting into the equation, we have

`744=z*24`

Solving for z, we have

`\begin{gathered} z=(744)/(24) \\ z=31\text{ mi} \end{gathered}`

Therefore, the answer is 31 miles.
