Question

The area of a parallelogram is $153.6{cm}^2$. The base measures $19.2cm$. What is the measurement for the height of the parallelogram?

Answer 1

Area of the parallelogram is $A=bh$ where $b$ is the base and $h$ is the height of the parallelogram.

It is given that area of the parallelogram is $A=153.6$ cm${}^2$ and base $b=19.2cm$, therefore,

$153.6=19.2\times h$

$\Rightarrow h=\frac{153.6}{19.2}=8$

Hence, the height of the parallelogram is $8$ cm.
