Question

Jacob made a banner for a sporting event in the shape of a parallelogram the area of the banner is 127 1/2 square centimeters the height of the banner is 4 1/4 centimeters what is the base of the banner

Answer 1

For a parallelogram, the area is calculated by the equation,
                                            A = bh
where A is area, b is base, and h is height. From this equation, we can solve for the base of the banner by dividing the area by the height. 
                        base of the banner = 127.5 cm² / 4.25 cm
                         base of the banner = 30 cm
Thus, the measure of the base of the banner is equal to 30 cm.
