Question

Find the height of a parallelogram with an area of 224 square meters and a base of 16 meters.

Answer 1

14 m

Explanation:

The area of a parallelogram is given by

A=bh

Where A is the area of the parallelogram, b is the base and h is the height.

Makjng h the subject of the formula then

`h=\frac {A}{b}`

Substituting 224 square meters for A and 16 meters for b then the height will be equivalent to

`h=\frac {224}{16}=14`

Therefore, the height is 14 meters
