Question

if the area of a parallelogram is 86cm and the height is 12cm write an equation that relates the height,base and area of the parallelogram

Answer 1

Answer:

The relation to find base is, $base=\frac{area\ of\ the \ parallelogram}{height}=\frac{86}{12}=7.16\ cm$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Area of the parallelogram $=86\ cm^2$

Height of the parallelogram $=12\ cm$

We know that the area of the parallelogram $=base\times height$

So

To find base we have to divide the height on both sides of the equation.

$base=\frac{area\ of\ the \ parallelogram}{height}$

Plugging the values.

$base=\frac{86}{12} =7.1\ cm$

So the base in terms of area of the parallelogram and its height is $b=\frac{area}{height} =\frac{86}{12}=7.16\ cm$
