Question

What is the missing length? 10 mi and y. Area = 160 mi ^2. Y = ______ miles

Answer 1

Area(S) = y×h

h = 10, area(S) = 160 mi²

160 = y×10

y = 16 mi

Answer: y = 16 mi

Answer 2

Answer:

The value of y is 16 miles.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is given that the formula of parallelogram is, Area = base×height. We had given the height and the area so in order to find the base, we have to substitue the following values into the formula :

Let base be y miles,

Let area be 160 miles²,

Let h be 10 miles,

$area = base \times height$

$160 = y \times 10$

$160 = 10y$

$10y \div 10 = 160 \div 10$

$y = 16 \: miles$
