The area of a parallelogram is given by


\text{Area = length x width}

Given parameters

Area = 504 square centimeters

width = 18 cm

length = y

Method: Substitute the given values into the formula


\begin{gathered} 504\text{ = }y\text{ x 18} \\ \\ 504\text{ =18y} \end{gathered}

Hence 18y = 504

divide both sides by 18


\begin{gathered} y\text{ =}(504)/(18) \\ \\ y=18\text{ cm} \end{gathered}

Hence, answer: y = 18 cm
