Question

Find the height of a paralleogram, if its area is 84square inches, its base is 12 inches, and its height is respresented by x + 2.

Answer 1

Hope you are having clear concept on this.

Answer 2

$\boxed {\text {Area of Parallelogram = base } \times \text{height}}$

Given area = 84 in², base = 12 in and height = (x + 2) in:

12 (x + 2) = 84

-

Find x:

12 (x + 2) = 84

12x + 24 = 84

12x = 84 - 24

12x = 60

x = 5 inches

-

Find height:

Height = x + 2 = 5 + 2 = 7 inches

-

Answer: Height = 7 inches
