Question

The area of a parallelogram is 56 sq cm and its height is 7 cm. What is its base?

Answer 1

Area of the parallelogram is 56 sq cm.
Height of the parallelogram is 7 cm.
Area of a parallelogram = Height × Base
56 sq cm = 7 cm × Base
$\mathrm{Base}=\frac{56\mathrm{sq}\mathrm{cm}}{7\mathrm{cm}}$
Base = 8 cm
∴ The base of the parallelogram is 8 cm.
