Question 71146
You know the formula for the area of a parallelogram: {{{A = bh}}}
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:
{{{A = bh}}} Divide both sides by h.
{{{A/h = b}}} Now substitute the given values of A and h and solve for b.
{{{96/12 = b}}}
{{{b = 8}}}m.
