Question

The parallelogram shown below has an area of
20 units squared. Find the missing base

Answer 1

Answer: 5 units

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a parallelogram is $A=bh$. SInce we know the area and the height, we can directly plug the values into this equation and solve for the base.

20=b(4)         [divide both sides by 4]

b=5 units

Answer 2

Answer:

5 units

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a parallelogram formula is $A=bh$.

The b stands for base which is what we are trying to find and h is the height which is 4 units.

So an easy way of finding the base is to divide 20 by 4 and we get 5 units.

So the base is 5 units.
