Answer 1

The base length for each parallelogram is $1\frac{5}{8}$ yards.

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1:

The area of a parallelogram is given by the product of its base length and height.

So the parameters needed to determine the area of a parallelogram are its base length and its height.

We must convert the mixed fractions into improper fractions. To do that we multiply the number with the denominator and add with it the numerator whereas the denominator remains the same.

To convert the fraction $3\frac{5}{7} = \frac{(3)(7)+5}{7} = \frac{26}{7}$ which is the area.

To convert the fraction $1\frac{1}{7} = \frac{(1)(7)+1}{7} = \frac{8}{7}$ which is the height of the parallelogram.

Step 2:

Assume the length of the parallelogram is x.

So the area of the parallelogram$= (x)(\frac{8}{7} ) = \frac{26}{7} .$

$x = (\frac{26}{7}) (\frac{7}{8} )= \frac{26}{8} .$ This is the base length for both parallelograms.

So each parallelograms base length$= \frac{\frac{26}{8} }{2} = \frac{13}{8} = 1\frac{5}{8}.$

So the base length for each parallelogram is $1\frac{5}{8}$.
