Question

The area of a parallelogram is 240 cm^2 and the height is 20 cm. Find the corresponding base.

A.260 cm

B.220 cm

C.4,800 cm^2

D.12 cm

Answer 1

The area of a parallelogram is given by the formula
A = bh
where b is the base length, and h is the height.

Fill in the given information and solve for b.
240 cm² = b × 20 cm
(240 cm²)/(20 cm) = b = 12 cm

The appropriate choice is
D. 12 cm
