Answer:
12 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
Let b represent the base
h represents the height
area of the parallelogram = base * height = 216 square inches
From the question'
b = 18 + 3h
Slot in the value of b
216 = (18 + 3h) * h
expand
216 = 18h + 3h^2
subtract 216 from both sides
0 = 18h + 3h^2 - 216
rearrange
3h^2 + 18h - 216 = 0
divide through by 3
h^2 + 6h - 72 = 0
Now, lets solve!
h^2 + 6h - 12h - 72 = 0
h( h + 6 ) - 12(h + 6) = 0
(h - 12) (h + 6) = 0
h - 12 = 0
h = 12
and
h + 6 = 0
h = - 6
Taking the positive value of h
Hence, the height is 12 inches
Lets check
when h = 12 inches
Area of the parallelogram = 18* 12 = 216 square inches .... correct
when h = -6inches
A = 18 * -6 ≠ 216 square inches
So height is 12 inches

Answer:
-2
Step-by-step explanation:
You can use the Law of Sines for this problem, but what makes it tough at first glance is that they put a step in before you can use it directly. That first step is to get m∠C. When solving a triangle, always get the third angle if you know the other two so that you can use the Law of Sines (or Law of Cosines) more directly.
The sum of the angles of any triangles is 180°. We know the measures of the two other angles. So we subtract them from 180° to find that third angle.
180° - 76° - 66° = 38°
Now we can use the proportion from the picture. Angle B measures 76°, side b is our unknown, Angle C measures 38°, and side c measures 3 units.
sin 76° sin 38°
----------- = -----------
b 3
Cross multiply to find b (the side). We carry out five places in these calculations to get more accuracy.
3 * sin 76° = b * sin 38°
b = 3 * sin 76° 3 * 0.56611 1.69832
--------------- = --------------- = ---------------- = 5.73044
sin 38° 0.29636 0.29636
To the nearest tenth, b - 5.7 units.
