Question

The parallelogram is shown below I have an area of 135 units. Find the missing base

Answer 1

9

Explanation:

The area of a parallelogram is base * height.

The area is given as 135

The height is given as 15

You do not need to use 17

Area = base * height Substitute

135 = base * 15 Divide by 15 on both sides

135/15 = base*15/15

base = 9
