Question

What is the value of h?

Answer 1

Answer:

$\large\boxed{h=5.488\ in}$

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula of an area of a parallelogram:

$A=bh$

b - base

h - height

We have:

base₁ = 9.8 in

base₂ = 10 in

height₁ = 5.6 in

height₂ = h

The area of a parallelogram:

$A=b_1h_1$ and $A=b_2h_2$

Therefore we have the equation:

$b_2h_2=b_1h_1$

Substitute:

$10h=(9.8)(5.6)$

$10h=54.88$          divide both sides by 10

$h=5.488\ in$
