Question

A parallelogram has an area of 448 square centimeters and a base length of 16 centimeters what is the height of the parallelogram?

14cm
16cm
12cm
28cm

Answer 1

The answer is 28 cm.

Explanation:

The formula for the height of a parallelogram is area divided by length, so 448/16 equals 28.

Answer 2

28cm

Explanation:

Area of a parallelogram = base x height

Given area = 448cm^2

Base = 16 cm

Therefore,

448 = 16 x h

Divide both sides by 16

448/16 = 16/16 x h

28 = h

h = 28cm
