Algebra.Com's Answer #805077 by CubeyThePenguin(3113)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! area of parallelogram = (base)(height)\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "height = h\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "(h)(2h + 10) = 208 \n" ); document.write( "2h^2 + 10h - 208 = 0 \n" ); document.write( "h^2 + 5h - 104 = 0 \n" ); document.write( "(h - 8)(h + 13) = 0\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "h = 8, h = -13\r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Distance can't be negative, so the height is 8 cm and the base is 26 cm. \n" ); document.write( " |
