Question

cougar park is shaped like a parallelogram and has an area of 1/16 sqaure mile. Its base is 3/8 mile. What is its height?

Answer 1

Divide 1/16 by 3/8 and do the rest I got confused

Answer 2

The area of parallelogram can be found using the formula:

$Area = b* h$

Where b= base length and h= height.

We are given :

Area =1/16 square mile and

Base = 3/8 mile

Plugging the values in the formula to find height,

$1/16 = 3/8* h$

height = 1/6 mile

So height of parallelogram is 1/6 miles.
