Question

Find the measure of base of the following parallelogram shown below.Area =10.92 cm?2.6 cmAnswer:cm

Answer 1

The area of a paralllelogram can be found by multiplying its base with its height. In this problem we were given the area and the height, therefore we can solve for the base as shown below.

`\begin{gathered} Area=base\cdot height \\ ase=(Area)/(height) \\ base=(10.92)/(2.6) \\ base=4.2\text{ cm} \end{gathered}`

The base of the parallelogram is 4.2 cm
