Question

What is the base of a parallelogram with a height of 10.5 feet and an area of 189,112 square feet?

A) 15.001 feet
B) 18.011 feet
C) 20.021 feet
D) 25.032 feet

Answer 1

The correct answer is option C) 20.021 feet.The base of the parallelogram is approximately 18.011 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

To find the base of a parallelogram, we can use the formula for the area of a parallelogram which is given by: Area = base x height. Given that the height is 10.5 feet and the area is 189,112 square feet, we can substitute these values into the formula and solve for the base.

189,112 = base x 10.5

Dividing both sides of the equation by 10.5, we get:

base = 189,112 / 10.5

base ≈ 18,010.476 approximated to the nearest thousandth.

Therefore, the base of the parallelogram is approximately 18.011 feet, which corresponds to option B).
