Question 5 of 5

If the area of parallelogram ABCD = 246 mm2 and h = 20.5 mm, what is the length of the base of triangle ABD?

1 answer

We can use the formula for the area of a parallelogram, which is:

Area = base x height

In this case, the height is given as h = 20.5 mm, and the area is given as 246 mm2. We can rearrange the formula to solve for the base:

base = Area / height

Substituting the given values, we get:

base = 246 mm2 / 20.5 mm

Simplifying, we get:

base = 12 mm

Therefore, the length of the base of triangle ABD is 12 mm.
