Question

The area of a parallelogram is 390 sq cm. If its height is 26 cm, what is its base?

Answer 1

Area of a parallelogram is 390 sq cm.
Height of the parallelogram is 26 cm.
Area of a parallelogram = Height × Base
390 sq cm = 26 cm × Base
$\mathrm{Base}=\frac{390\mathrm{sq}\mathrm{cm}}{26\mathrm{cm}}$
Base = 15 cm
∴ The base of the parallelogram is 15 cm.
