Answer:

The height of the window is 38 inches.

Explanation:

Given:

A window is shaped like a parallelogram.

The base is 16 inches long.

The area is 608 square inches.

Now, to find the window's height.

Let the height be
h.

The area = 608 square inches.

The base (
b) = 16 inches.

Now, to get the height of the window we put formula:


Area =b* h\\\\608=16* h\\\\Dividing\ both\ sides\ by\ 16\ we\ get:\\\\38=h\\\\h=38\ inches.

Thus, the height is 38 inches.

Hence, the height of the window is 38 inches.
