Question

The area , A, if a parallelogram is 15.3 square centimeters . Its base , B, is 4.5 centimeters. the formula for finding the area of a parallelogram is A=BH write and solve an equation to find the height h of the parallelogram

Answer 1

The height of the parallelogram is approximately 3.4 centimeters.

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for finding the area of a parallelogram is A = BH.

Given that the area, A, is 15.3 square centimeters and the base, B, is 4.5 centimeters,

we can write the equation as 15.3 = 4.5H.

To find the height, H, we divide both sides of the equation by 4.5: H = 15.3 / 4.5.

Using a calculator, we find that H ≈ 3.4 centimeters.
