You can put this solution on YOUR website!
The area of a parallelogram, just like a rectangle, is base length times height length.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "A for area
\n" ); document.write( "b for base length
\n" ); document.write( "h for height
\n" ); document.write( "\"b=h%2B9\", from description\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"A=b%2Ah\"
\n" ); document.write( "The question is, what is the height. (You already were given the base value).
\n" ); document.write( "\"h=A%2Fb\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"h=A%2F%28h%2B9%29\", using the description of base from the problem.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Use the given values.
\n" ); document.write( "\"h=52%2F%28h%2B9%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"h%28h%2B9%29=52\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"h%5E2%2B9h=52\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"highlight%28h%5E2%2B9-52=0%29\" AND THE LEFT SIDE IS FACTORABLE.\r
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"%28h-4%29%28h%2B9%29=0\"
\n" ); document.write( "We must accept the positive solution, so \"highlight%28h=4%29\".
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
