Question

The area of a parallelogram is 15 centimeters squared. the length of the base is 5 centimeters. find the width. show all your work.

Answer 1

A parallelogram is a 4-sided shape formed by two pairs of parallel lines. Opposite sides are equal in length and opposite angles are equal in measure. To find the area of a parallelogram, multiply the base by the height. We calculate as follows:

Area = b x w
15 = 5w
w = 3 cm
