Question

Leslie wrote this equation for the area of a parallelogram. 17.8h = 384.48. What is the height (h) of this parallelogram? A. 6843.7 units B. 21.6 units C. 20.6 units D. 366.7 units

Answer 1

17.8h = 384.48 ,To find h we divide both sides by 17.8 (so that the h is alone. Keep in mind that the h=height)

17.8/17.8=h (1)
384.48/17.8=21.6

Therefore, h=21.6units
So B

Answer 2

The height is B. 21.6 units

Area of a parallelogram is computed by multiplying its base to its height.

A = b h

17.8h = 384.48

Based on the equation above,
Area = 384.48
base = 17.8
height = ?

17.8h = 384.48
17.8h/17.8 = 384.48/17.8
h = 21.6 units.
