Question

Find the missing variable for a parallelogram:
A = 25in2
h =
b = 3.4 in

(1in=2.54cm)

Answer 1

Since the formula to find the area of a parallelogram is base times height (A=bh), and you have been given the area and base already, you can set up an equation. Let h=height in this formula. h x 3.4 = 25. Using this formula, to find the height, you would divide 25 by 3.4 and get approximately 7.35 inches. So, your height= 7.35in. Hope this helps!

Answer 2

Answer:

The missing variable for a parallelogram:

height (h) ≈ 7.35 in or

height(h) ≈ 18.67 cm

Explanation:

Area of parallelogram is base times the height.

i.,e $A =b \times h$ where A is the area , b is the base and h is the height of the parallelogram respectively.

Given: Area (A) = 25 square in.  and breadth(b) = 3.4  in.

To find the height:

Apply parallelogram;

$A = b \times h$

Substitute the value of A and b in above formula;

$25 = 3.4 \times h$

Divide by 3.4 to both sides;

$\frac{25}{3.4} = \frac{3.4}{3.4}h$

Simplify:

7.35294118 in = h

or

h ≈ 7.35 in.

To find height in cm

Use 1 in = 2.54 cm

then, h =18.6764 ≈18.67 cm

Therefore, the height in inches is 7.35 in. (approx)

or the height in cm is; 18.67 cm (approx)
