Answer:

The formula for area of a parallelogram is A=bh

x=10.3

Explanation:

We don't have the base but we have the height.

the base is x and the height is 5

if the area is 51.5

we should divide the height to find the base.

51.5÷5=10.3

so the base is 10.3

Check if answer is correct:

b=10.3

h=5

a= 51.5

10.3(5)=51.5

a= 51.5cm²

I hope this helps as long as you know the formula it's easy :D
