Answer:

x = 12

Explanation:

So, area of a parallelogram is base times height.

In this picture, one of the base, height pair is 18 and 10.

18 * 10 = 180

The other base, height pair is 15 and x.

So, 15 and x should equal to 18 * 10.

Then, 15x = 180.

Divide both sides by 15, and you get 15x/15 = x and 180/15 = 12.

So, x = 12
