Question

A parallelogram has an area of 111.86 ft2 and a height of 11.9 ft. how long is the base of the parallelogram? enter your answer as a decimal in the box.

Answer 1

Answer: The base of the parallelogram = 9.4 ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The area of the parallelogram =  $111.86\ ft^2$

The height of the parallelogram = 11.9 ft

We know that the area of the parallelogram is given by :-

$\text{Area}=\text{base}\times\text{height}\\\\\Rightarrow111.86=\text{base}\times11.9\\\\\Rightarrow\text{base}=\frac{111.86}{11.9}\\\\\Rightarrow\text{base}= 9.4\ ft$

Hence,  the base of the parallelogram = 9.4 ft.

Answer 2

111.86/11.9 = 11186/1190 = 5593/595 = 9.4
