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
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.
