Question

A parallelogram has an area of 34.75 square centimeters. If its height is 5 cm, find the

base.
2.5 cm
13.9 cm
6.95 cm
16.25 cm

Answer 1

6.95 cm

Explanation:

The area (A) of a parallelogram is calculated as

A = bh ( b is the base and h the height )

Here A = 34.75 and h = 5, thus

34.75 = 5b ( divide both sides by 5 )

b = 6.95 cm
