The area of a parallelogram is given by the formula A=bh. The area of the parallelogram is 133 sq. units. Find its base and height.
base=3x+1
height=x+1
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
From the condition, you have this quadratic equation
(3x+1)*(x+1) = 133.
Simplify it and solve using the quadratic formula.
One solution I see mentally: x = 6.
Now calculate the base and the height.
