A parallelogram has an area of 216.24 cm22 and a height of 15.9 cm. How long is the base of the parallelogram? Enter your answer as a decimal

Verified Answer :

The length of the base of the parallelogram is 13.6 cm.

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: A parallelogram has an area of \(216.24cm^2\) and a height of \(15.9cm\).

To find: The  base of the parallelogram.

Solution: We are given the area and the height of the parallelogram, therefore

Area of parallelogram=Base×height

⇒\(216.24=Base{\times}15.9\)

⇒\(\frac{216.24}{15.9}=Base\)

⇒\(13.6cm=Base\)

Thus, the value of the base of the parallelogram is 13.6cm.
