Question 360569: if the base of the parallagram is 12 and the height of it is x-7, and the question is asking me.., write two equivalent expressions for the area of the figure. What would the two expressions look like? Answer by Theo(13342) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! area of a parallelogram is equal to B * H where B is the base of the parallelogram and H is the height of the parallelogram.
The equation would be:
A = B * H
Since B = 12 and H = (x-7), then this equation becomes:
A = 12 * (x - 7)
One of the expressions is 12 * (x - 7)
The equivalent expression might be 12x - 84
Both these expressions are equivalent (they mean the same thing).
Your equations can be either:
A = 12 * (x - 7)
or:
A = 12*x - 84
The expressions on the right side of the equal sign are the equivalent expressions.
