Question

Ben’s garden is shaped like a parallelogram. The area of his garden is 336 square feet. The height of the parallelogram that represents his garden is 16 feet. What is the base of the parallelogram in feet?

Answer 1

Given:

• Area of garden ( parallelogram) = 336 ft²

• Height = 16 ft

To find out:

Find the base of parallelogram in feet?

Formula used:

Area of parallelogram = Base × Height

Solution:

Area of parallelogram = Base × Height

☆Putting the value in the above formula, we get

⇒ 336 = Base × 16

⇒ Base = 336/16

=> Base = 21

Hence, the base of given parallelogram is 21 feet

Answer 2

21 ft

Explanation:

The area of a parallelogram is given by

A = bh

336 = 16*b

Divide each side by 16

336/16 = 16b/16

21 =b
