Answer:

36.4km

Explanation:

Area = base * height

We are solving for the base

1274 = b * 35

1274 = 35b

1274/35 = 35b/35

36.4 = b

Best of Luck!

Answer:

We have the final answer as

36.4 km

Explanation:

Area of a parallelogram = base × height

Since we are finding the base ,


base = (area)/(height) \\

From the question

area = 1274 km²

height = 35 km

The base of the parallelogram is


base = (1274)/(35) = (182)/(5) \\

We have the final answer as

36.4 km

Hope this helps you
