Answer: 9</h3>
===================================================
Explanation:
The area of the parallelogram is equal to the base times height. The formula to use is A = b*h. The height and base are always perpendicular to one another.
The base is some unknown variable b. Multiply the base by the height 15 to get 15*b which is equal to the area 135
Therefore, 15*b = 135
Divide both sides by 15 and we isolate b
15b = 135
15b/15 = 135/15
b = 9
So the base is 9
Check:
area = base*height = 9*15 = 135
so the answer is confirmed
side note: we never use the value 17 at all. It is likely put in there as a distraction.
Draw a line
box the variable
add opposite to both sides
solve for the variable

-----------------
To solve this all it takes is two simple steps
Simplify

1/2x =22
------------------------
Multiply both sides by 2
2 ·

= 2 · 22
x = 44
Answer: 
Step-by-step explanation:
Given
The tower is at a height of 
the angle of depression is 
Suppose the surfer is x ft away from the base of the tower

Therefore, the surfer is at a distance of 19.31 ft from the base of the tower.
There are 15 troop members. 10 like to fish. The probability that the new guy is paired with a guy who likes fishing is 10/15, which is 67%
