Question

input is complete.A parallelogram has a base of 9 units and an area of 12 square units. What is the corresponding height for that base? Remember: Area parallelogram = b × h

Answer 1

As written in the Question Tab, the area of the parallelogram can be solved by multiplying the base and the height. Since we already have the base = 9 units and its area which is 12 square units, the first and last thing to do is divide the area by the base to solve the height of the parallelogram. See computation below:

`\begin{gathered} \text{area = base}*\text{height} \\ 12=9* h \\ Divide\text{ both sides by 9.} \\ (12)/(9)=(9h)/(9) \\ (4)/(3)or\text{ 1.33 = h} \end{gathered}`

Therefore, the height of the parallelogram is 4/3 or 1.33 units.
