Answer:
x=15 yards
Step-by-step explanation:
The formula for the area of a parallelogram is : [tex]base*height[/tex]
The formula for the length of the base is :[tex]base=\frac{area}{height}[/tex]
To work out the value of x you would divide the area of 120 by the height of 8, this gives you 15 yd. This is because the formula is base*height and so by dividing the the area by the height we are rearranging the formula to [tex]base=\frac{area}{height}[/tex].
1) Divide 120 by 8.
[tex]120/8=15 yards[/tex]
