Question

The area of a parallelogram is 22 square inches. The height of the parallelogram is 11 inches. What is the length of the base?

Answer 1

Base (x) = 2

Explanation:

First we know that to find the area you do:

Area=Base x Height

So plug in the 22 as the area and the 11 as the height so it looks like this:

22 = (x) x 11

Then to find x all you have to do is divide 22 by 11 in order to get x by itself:

22/11 = x

So your answer is 2
