The area of a parallelogram can be calculated using the following formula:


\text{Area}=\text{base}\cdot\text{height}

If the area of the parallelogram is 7 square units and the height is 1/4 units, we can calculate the base:


\begin{gathered} 7=\text{base}\cdot(1)/(4) \\ (28)/(4)=(base)/(4) \\ \text{base}=28 \end{gathered}

So the base of the parallelogram is 28 units.
