Question

the base of a parallelogram is 8 inches longer than twice the height. the area of the parallelogram is 64 square inches. what is the height of the parallelogram?

Answer 1

$a = b \times h$

$64in^{2} = 16 \times 4$

where 16 is the base and 4 is the height.

16 - 8 is 8, and half of 8 is 4. So the height of the parallelogram is 4 inches.
