Answer :

  • 9.4 ft

Explanation:

Here,

  • Area of the parallelogram is 111.86 ft².

  • Height of the parallelogram is 11.9 ft.

We know that,


{\longrightarrow \qquad{ \boldsymbol{ \pmb{Base * Height = Area_((Parallelogram))}}}}

Now, Substituting the values in the formula :


{\longrightarrow \qquad{ \sf{ {Base * 11.9 = 111.86}}}}


{\longrightarrow \qquad{ \sf{ {Base = (111.86)/(11.9) }}}}


{\longrightarrow \qquad{ \pmb { \boldsymbol{Base \: \: { \it= 9.4}}}}}

Therefore,

  • The Base of the parallelogram is 9.4 ft .

Answer:

9.4ft

Explanation:

area of a parallelogram =base x height

111.86 = b×11.9

111.86 = 11.9b

divide both sides by 11.9

111.86/11.9= 11.9b/11.9

9.4 = b

b = 9.4ft
