The area of all paralellograms can be found by area=base times height
so area=26 and 1/2 height=6 and 5/8 convert to improper fractions for ease of use 26 and 1/2=52/2+1/2=53/2 6 and 5/8=48/8+5/8=53/8 so
area=height times base 53/2=53/8 times base multiply both sides b 8/53 so that we clar the fraction (53/8 times 8/53=424/424=1) (53 times 8)/(53 times 2)=1base 8/2=1base 4=base
Well you start of in reverse. The formula to find the Area of a parallelogram is A = bh so since you already have the Area all you would have to do is divide the area by the height like so 26 1/2 / 6 5/8 = 4. So to make sure you have the right answer you would just Multiply 4 by 6 5/8 to see if it equals 26 1/2. 4 X 6 5/8 = 26 1/2 I hope this helped
