So, the area of a parallelogram is the base times the height or
a being area
b being base
h being height
the height is 8 cm and the base is 15 cm
(remember: the heght should be perpendicular to the base)
so we plug in 8 for h and 15 for b to get
and 15 × 8 = (10 × 8) + (5 × 8) = 80 + 40 =120
So the answer is 120
Answer:
the correct choice is marked
Step-by-step explanation:
Let x represent the smaller number. Then the larger number is 8x, and the difference is ...
8x -x = 280
7x = 280 . . . . . simplify
x = 40 . . . . . . divide by 7
The larger number is 8x = 8(40) = 320.

<em>Additional comment</em>
Effectively, we have solved for the multiplier (40) that gives the ratio with 320 on top and a difference between top and bottom of 280:
