Question

A parallelogram has an area of 111.86 ft² and a height of 11.9 ft.

How long is the base of the parallelogram?

Answer 1

Answer:

9.4ft

Step-by-step explanation:

area of a parallelogram =base x height

111.86 = b×11.9

111.86 = 11.9b

divide both sides by 11.9

111.86/11.9= 11.9b/11.9

9.4 = b

b = 9.4ft

Answer 2

Answer :

• 9.4 ft

⠀

Step-by-step explanation:

⠀

Here,

• Area of the parallelogram is 111.86 ft².

• Height of the parallelogram is 11.9 ft.

⠀

We know that,

${\longrightarrow \qquad{ \boldsymbol{ \pmb{Base \times Height = Area_{(Parallelogram)}}}}}$

⠀

Now, Substituting the values in the formula :

⠀

${\longrightarrow \qquad{ \sf{ {Base \times 11.9 = 111.86}}}}$

⠀

${\longrightarrow \qquad{ \sf{ {Base = \dfrac{111.86}{11.9} }}}}$

⠀

${\longrightarrow \qquad{ \pmb { \boldsymbol{Base \: \: { \it= 9.4}}}}}$

⠀

Therefore,

• The Base of the parallelogram is 9.4 ft .
