The area formula for a parallelogram is base*height=area. Make an equation. You know the area and the height, so plug that into the equation, and you get x*18=396. Solve for x by dividing 396 by 18 and you get 22. So, the base is 22cm.
4.67 would be a rounded answer. Really it's 4.666666666666666666 (the 6 go on forever) but we can't write that out.
Depends on what it is, i'd personally love to at any point
