The area of a parallelogram is given by

Now, if we consider the 9.9 inches side as the base, then the height is the one labeled with 5.5 inches.
If instead we choose the 11 inches side as the base, the height is h.
So, we can express the area in this two equivalent ways:

Solving for h, we have

32.5 degrees is the answer
For this case we have the following equation:
d = 0.5 + 5t
We will describe the equation step by step.
0.5: Initial distance Jillian walked
5: speed with which Jillian begins to jog
t: independent variable that indicates the number of hours
y: dependent variable that indicates the distance traveled in miles
Answer:
The variable variable is time and the dependent variable is distance.
