Answer:

Explanation:

The area formula of a parallelogram is the same as the area formula of a rectangle, it is A=bh.

Given that area is 15 units, A = 15.

On the graph, we can see that base is 3 units. b = 3.

plug in the values into the formula,


15 = 3 * h\\h = 15 / 3 = 5

area of a parallelogram is base * height. so you can make this equation:
3 * h = 15
divide both sides by 3
h = 5 units
