Question

A parallelogram has an area of 300 square kilometers and a height of 20 kilometers. What is the length of the base?

Answer 1

Answer: the length of the base is 15 kilometers.

Explanation:

formula : Area of parrallelogram = Length of base x height

Given: Area of parallelogram = 300 square kilometers

height = 20 kilometers

Substituting values in the formula , we get

300 = Length of base x 20

Length of base =
`(300)/(20)`

= 15 kilometers

Hence, the length of the base is 15 kilometers.
