Question

The parallel shown below has an area of 40 units^2. 5

Answer 1

Let's see

• Area=Base×Height

So

`\\ \rm\rightarrowtail 5b=40`

`\\ \rm\rightarrowtail b=40/5`

`\\ \rm\rightarrowtail b=8units`

Answer 2

b = 8

Explanation:

The area (A) of a parallelogram is calculated as

A = base × height

Here A = 40 and h = 5 , then

base × 5 = 40 ( divide both sides by 5 )

base b = 8
