Problem

If the area and height of a parallelogram are \$72m^2\$ and 6m respectively. Find the base of the parallelogram.

Given

The area of the parallelogram is 72 m and the height of the parallelogram is 6 m.

Step

Using the area of the parallelogram formula, we will find the base of the parallelogram.

Formula:

The area of the parallelogram is given by

\$A = bh\$.

Step

Substitute 72m for A and 6m for h.

\$72m = b \times 6m \$

Step

Cancel out the common factor.

\$ \cancel{72} ^{12}m = b \times \cancel{6} ^1m\$

Step

Answer

Base of parallelogram is \$12 m\$.
