Question 71146: Please Help me with this question, please.
The formula for finding the area, A, of a parallelogram is:
A=bh, where b is the length of the base and h is the height of the parallelogram.
A parallelogram has a height of 12 meters and an area of 96 square meters. How many meters long is the parallelogram's base?

You know the formula for the area of a parallelogram:
You have been given the value of the area: A = 96 sq.m. and you have been given the value of the height: h = 12m
You want to find the value of the base, b, so solve the formula for b:
Divide both sides by h.
Now substitute the given values of A and h and solve for b.

m.
