A parallelogram has opposite sides parallel and equal in length. Also, opposite angles are equal, making squares, rectangles and rhombuses examples of parallelograms.
If the area of the parallelogram is 7 square units and the height that corresponds to the base is 1/4 unit, then the base is:
A=bh
7 square units= b(1/4)
b=7/(1/4)
b=28
A biggie: the transcontinental railroad. Because it would economically improve wherever it was, both the North and the South competed for the railroad to be in their respective territory, evidenced by the Kansas-Nebraska Act and the Gadsen Purchase and induction of California as a free state in 1860.
