We know that the area of a parallelogram is given by the formula A = bh, where A is the area, b is the base, and h is the height. In this case, we are given the area and the base, and we need to find the height.
We can rearrange the formula to solve for h: h = A/b
Plugging in the given values, we get:
h = 14.4 sq ft / 4.5 cm
Note that the units are different for area and base, so we need to convert them to the same units. Let's convert the base to feet, since the area is given in square feet:
h = 14.4 sq ft / (4.5 cm / 30.48 cm/ft) [converting cm to ft]
h = 14.4 sq ft / 0.148 ft
h ≈ 97.3 cm
Therefore, the height of the parallelogram is approximately 97.3 cm.
