Question:
The parallelogram shown below has an area of 40 units squared.
Find the missing base.
Answer:
See Explanation Below
Step-by-step explanation:
The question is incomplete as the diagram which shows the dimension of the parallelogram is not attached.
However, I'll give a general explanation on how to get the base of the parallelogram. If you follow this explanation, you'll get the right answer regarding your question.
The area of a parallelogram is calculated as thus.
Area = Base * Height
Given that the area = 40 units²
Let's assume the height of the parallelogram is 10 unit.
All you need to do is to plug in these values in the formula above..
Area = Base * Height becomes
40 = Base * 10
Divide both sides by 10
40/10 = Base * 10/10
4 = Base
Hence, Base = 4 units
Or take for instance the height is 5 units.
You'll still follow the simple steps as it is above.
Area = Base * Height becomes
40 = Base * 5
Divide both sides by 5
40/5 = Base * 5/5
8 = Base
Hence, Base = 8 units
BC is the answer love... have fun on that I-Ready Diagnostic
Answer:
Radius = 20+5 = 25
We can find CE with the pythagorean theorem
20^2 + CE^2 = 25^2
CE = 15
