Question

A parallelogram has an area of 111.86 ft² and a height of 11.9 ft.

How long is the base of the parallelogram?

Answer 1

• 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 2

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
