47 meters

Explanation:

I think your question is missed of key information, allow me to add in and hope it will fit the original one. Please have a look at the attached photo.

My answer:

Given

• The building is about 2150 square meters
• The height of the building: 25 meters

As we know, the formula to find the area of a parallelogram is:

A = the base* the height

=> the base in this question is:

= The area / the height

= 2150 / 25 = 86 meters

As we can see in the photo, x + 39 meters = the base

=> x = the base - 39 meters

= 86 meters - 39 meters

= 47 meters
