How do you find the height of a parallelogram with an area of 104 square and a base of 8 yards?

Answer 1

Aurora Ayala

The height of this parallelogram is #"13 yards"#.

So the area formula for a parallelogram is

#A=bh#

Here

So let's plug in what we know already

#"104 yd"^2 = "8 yd" * h#

So we divide both sides by #"8 yd"# and we get #"13 yd"#.

To find the height of a parallelogram with an area of 104 square yards and a base of 8 yards, you can use the formula for the area of a parallelogram, which is given by the product of the base and the height. Rearrange the formula to solve for the height, then substitute the given values.

Here are the steps:

Given area ( A = 104 ) square yards and base ( b = 8 ) yards.
Use the formula for the area of a parallelogram: ( A = b \times h ), where ( h ) is the height.
Rearrange the formula to solve for the height: ( h = \frac{A}{b} ).
Substitute the given values: ( h = \frac{104}{8} ).
Calculate: ( h = 13 ) yards.

Therefore, the height of the parallelogram is 13 yards.

When evaluating a one-sided limit, you need to be careful when a quantity is approaching zero since its sign is different depending on which way it is approaching zero from. Let us look at some examples.
