A parallelogram with an area of 160.5 in2 has a height that measures 7.5 in. find the length of the base.

Given: 160.5 in²=area of paralellogram

7.5 in = height

b = ?

Let us work out for the missing base. Basically, the formula in finding the area of a parallelogram is A = b * h. Since base is missing, we will use b = A/h where, area is divided by the measure of the height.

so,

b = A / h

= 160.5 inch² : 7.5 inch

= 21.4 inch

Therefore base has the measure of 21.4 inches.

Check:

A = b * h

= (21.4 inch) (7.5 inch)

A = 160.5 inches²
