A postcard is in the shape of a parallelogram. A parallelogram is a quadrilateral with two pair of parallel sides, opposite sides and opposite angles are equal.

Since, the postcard has an area of 12 square inches.

Since, area of parallelogram = $base \times height$

As area of parallelogram is 12, it means that the product of base and height is 12 square inches.

So, the possible dimensions of postcard are 3 inches and 4 inches and 2 inches and 6 inches.

So, base = 3 inches , height = 4 inches or base = 4 inches , height = 3 inches.

So, base = 2 inches, height = 6 inches or base = 6 inches , height = 2 inches.

Answer:

4 hours

Step-by-step explanation:

To solve this question you will simply make a ratio type equation. You know that every 1/6 of an hour, or every 10 minutes, the bucket will fill 1/2 an inch. The bucket is 12 inches tall.

$\frac{10 min}{1/2 inch} = \frac{x min}{12 inches}$

Cross multiply

$120=\frac{1}{2} x$

$x=240 min$

Convert minutes to inches

$\frac{240 min}{1} * \frac{1 hr}{60 min} = 4 hr$

Final answer: 4 hours

Hope this helps!
