Question

Find the value of h in the parallelogram

Answer 1

Hi there!

First, let's find the area of the purple parallelogram. This can be done by using the formula A = bh. 

WORK:
Formula: A = base x height
Plug in the values: A = 9.9 x 5.5
Solve: A = 54.45 in^2

Next, we'll find the area of the parallelogram again, using the same formula, except we'll use the other base (11) and it's height (h).

WORK:
Formula: A = base x height
Plug in the values: A = 11h

Now, we need to set the values that we have found equal to each other. This is because both are the area of the parallelogram, we just need to find the height for the second base.

WORK:
54.45 = 11h
h = 4.95 inches

ANSWER:
The value of h is equal to 4.95 inches.

Hope this helps!! :)
