Question

The base of a parallelogram is 10 inches the height is 2 inches more than half the base find the area

Answer 1

Given is a parallelogram whose base is b = 10 inches and it says height is 2 more than half-value of base i.e. h = 2 + (b ÷ 2).

So height is h = 2 + (10 ÷ 2) = 2 + 5

⇒ h = 7 inches.

We know the formula for area of parallelogram is given as follows :-

Area of parallelogram = base x height

Area of parallelogram = 10 inches x 7 inches

Area of parallelogram = 70 squared inches.

Hence, the final answer is 70 squared inches.
