Question

The area of a parallelogram is 240 cm^2 and the height is 20 cm. Find the corresponding base. A.260 cm B.220 cm C.4,800 cm^2 D.12 cm

Answer 1

The answer is D. 12 cm, because in order to find the area of a parallelogram you need the formula A = (b)(h), which is base times height. So 20cm x 12cm equals 240cm^2 :) 

Answer 2

The corresponding base of a parallelogram is calculated as follows

The area of a parallelogram is divided by the height of the parallelogram.

In the given question,

240 / 20

= 12cm

Therefore the correct answer is D. 12cm.
