Question

The area of a parallelogram is 31.5 ft2 and the height is 6.3 ft. What is the length of the base?

Answer 1

The base length of parallelogram is 5 feet, if the area of parallelogram is 31.5 square feet and the length is 6.3 feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

The given is,

Area of a parallelogram is 31.5 square feet

The height is 6.3 feet.

Step:1

Formula for area of parallelogram is,

`Area, A = bh`..................(1)

Where, b - Base length of parallelogram

h - Height of parallelogram

From the given values,

A = 31,5 square feet

h = 6.3 feet

Equation (1) becomes,

`31.5 = (b)(6.3)`

`b = (31.5)/(6.3)`

= 5

Base length, b = 5 feet

Result:

The base of length parallelogram is 5 feet, if the area of parallelogram is 31.5 square feet and the length is 6.3 feet.

Answer 2

The base of the parallelogram is 5 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Area of parallelogram, A = 31.5 ft²

Height, h = 6.3 ft

Base, b = ?

We know:

Area = base X height

31.5 ft² = base X 6.3 ft

Base = 5 ft

Therefore, the base of the parallelogram is 5 ft
