Question

Find the missing height of the parallelogram described. b = (x + 4) yd, (blank text) yd, (5x + 20) yd2

Answer 1

5yards

Explanation:

Area of the parallelogram = Base * Height

Given

Area = (5x+20)yd²

Base = (x+4)yd

Required

height

Substitute into the formula

5x+20 = x+4 * Height

Height = 5x+20/x+4

Height = 5(x+4)/x+4

X+4 cancels out to have;

Height = 5

Hence the height of the parallelogram is 5yards
