Question

If the area of the following parallelogram is 135 square feet, what is the length of the base?

Answer 1

Given :-

• A parallelogram ABCD, whose, height = 5 yd and area is 135 sq. feet

To Find :-

• Length of the base

Solution :-

Given us the area in sq. feet but height in yards, So let's convert the height in feet instead.

We know, 1 yard = 3 feet

∴ Height = 15 feet.

Now, We know

⇒ Area = Base × Height

⇒ 135 = Base × 15

⇒ Base = 9 feet

Hence, The length of the base of the given parallelogram is 9 feet.

Hence, Option (d) is correct.

Some Information :-

• The opposite sides of a parallelogram are equal and parallel to each other.

• The opposite angles of a parallelogram are equal and the sum of the adjacent angles is 180°.

Answer 2

Answer:

• 9 feet

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

• Height of parallelogram = 5 yards
• Area of parallelogram = 135 square feet

To find

• Base of parallelogram

Solution

1 yard = 3 feet

5 yards = 15 feet

• Area of parallelogram = base × height
• 135 = base × 15
• base = 135/15
• base = 9

Hence, the length of base of the parallelogram is 9 feet.
