Hello!
The area of the square would be 400 cm sq, because the formula for area of a square is A = s sq
Since we already have the area of the parallelogram and we have the measurement of its base, we will be able to find its height!
The formula for the area of a parallelogram is:
A = bh
A = 16 × ____
Since we have to multiply its dimensions together to find the AREA, we will have to do the opposite to find its height.
What's the opposite of multiplication? Division! So I'm simply going to flip the multiplication problem over and turn it to a division one:
H = A ÷ b
As you can see, to find the height we must divide its area by its base.
H = 400 ÷ 16
H = 25
Therefore, the height of the parallelogram is 25 cm.
