Question

Find the missing measurement (indicated by a "?").

Answer 1

Answer:

The missing measurement is 9 miles

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The Area of a parallelogram  is equal to

$A=bh$

where

b is the length of any base

h is the corresponding altitude

The altitude (or height) of a parallelogram is the perpendicular distance from the base to the opposite side (which may have to be extended).

In the figure, the altitude corresponding to the base is 4 miles

substitute

$36=b(4)$

Solve for b

Divide by 4 both sides

$b=\frac{36}{4} =9\ mi$

therefore

The missing measurement is 9 miles
