Area of a parallelogram must be less than 180 cm squared the base is 15 cm how would you write and solve an inequality describing h

1 answer

Let h represent the height of the parallelogram. The formula to find the area of a parallelogram is A = base x height.

Given that the base is 15 cm and the area is less than 180 cm^2, we can write the inequality as:

15h < 180

To solve for h, divide both sides by 15:

h < 12

Therefore, the height of the parallelogram must be less than 12 cm in order for the area to be less than 180 cm^2.
