Question

Two parallelogram-shaped pieces of tile have the same area. One has a base of 20 centimeters and a height of 15 centimeters. The other has a base of 25 centimeters. What is its height?

Answer 1

height = 12 cm

Explanation:

Parallelogram 1:

Area = base *height = 20 * 15 = 300 sq. cm

Area of parallelogram 2 = area of parallelogram 1

25 * height = 300

height = 300/25

height = 12 cm
