Question

The base of a parallelogram is 21 yards. Find the height if the area of the parallelogram is 525 square

Answer 1

25 yards

Explanation:

A parallelogram is a quadrilateral (a four sided object) with parallel sides

Some of the characteristics of a parallelogram includes :

1. Opposite sides and angles are congruent .
2. Opposite angels are congruent (D = B).
3. Consecutive angles are supplementary (A + D = 180°).
4. The diagonals bisect each other

Area of a parallelogram = base x height

Area = 525

base = 21 yards

height = ?

525 = 21 x height

divide both sides of the equation by 21 to find the value of the height

525 / 21 = height

height = 25 yards
