Question

The height of the parallelogram, h, can be found by dividing the area by the length of the base. If the area of the parallelogram is represented by 4x2 – 2x + 5 and the base is 2x – 6, which represents the height? 2x + 5 + 2x – 7 – 2x – 7 + 2x + 5 –

Answer 1

Answer:

$2x+5+\frac{35}{2x-6}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given,

The area of the parallelogram, A = $4x^2-2x+5$

The length of its base, b = $2x-6$

∵ The height of the parallelogram.

$h=\frac{A}{b}$

$\implies h=\frac{4x^2-2x+5}{2x-6}$

$=2x+5+\frac{35}{2x-6}$   ( by long division shown below )

Hence, the height of the given parallelogram is,

$2x+5+\frac{35}{2x-6}$

Answer 2

Answer:

$\frac{4x^{2}-2x+5}{2x-6} =2x + 5 + \frac{35}{2x-6}$

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that the height of a parallelogram can be found by divind the area by the lenght of the base.

The area is 4x2 – 2x + 5 and the base is 2x – 6. To find the height, we need to divide both polynomials:

$\frac{4x^{2}-2x+5}{2x-6} =2x + 5 + \frac{35}{2x-6}$
