Question

If the parallelogram floor needs a base of 16 feet,what will the height of the floor be

Answer 1

See Explanation

Explanation:

The question is incomplete because the area of the parallelogram is missing. However, the following will guide you in answering the question

Given

`Base = 16\ ft`

Required

Determine the Height

Area of a Parallelogram is:

`Area = Base * Height`

Make Height the subject

`Height = (Area)/(Base)`

Substitute 16 for Base

`Height = (Area)/(16)`

This implies that you divide the value of area by 16 to get the height of the parallelogram.

Take for instance;

`Area = 64ft\²`

The height would be

`Height = (64)/(16)`

`Height = 4\ ft`

Or

`Area = 80ft\²`

The height would be

`Height = (80)/(16)`

`Height = 5\ ft`
