Question

8. If a parallelogram has an area of

115 square units and a base length of
12, what is the height of the
parallelogram, to the nearest
hundredth?

Answer 1

9514 1404 393

Answer:

9.58 units

Explanation:

The area is given by the formula ...

A = bh

Solving for height, we get ...

h = A/b

Filling in the given values, we find the height to be ...

h = (115 u²)/(12 u) ≈ 9.58333... u

The height is about 9.58 units.
