Question

The parallelogram shown below has an area of
20 units squared. Find the missing base

Answer 1

5 units

Explanation:

The area of a parallelogram formula is
`A=bh`.

The b stands for base which is what we are trying to find and h is the height which is 4 units.

So an easy way of finding the base is to divide 20 by 4 and we get 5 units.

So the base is 5 units.

Answer 2

Answer: 5 units

Explanation:

The area of a parallelogram is
`A=bh`. SInce we know the area and the height, we can directly plug the values into this equation and solve for the base.

20=b(4) [divide both sides by 4]

b=5 units
