Question

The are is a parallelogram is 72 in^2 what is its height

Answer 1

To find the height of a parallelogram when you know the area, you can use the formula for the area of a parallelogram:

\[
\text{Area} = \text{base} \times \text{height}
\]

Given:
- Area = 72 in²
- base = (You need to know the length of the base to find the height)

You can rearrange the formula to solve for height:

\[
\text{height} = \frac{\text{Area}}{\text{base}}
\]

Without the base length, you cannot find the exact height. If you know the length of the base, you can substitute that value into the equation to calculate the height.

For example, if the base is 12 inches:

\[
\text{height} = \frac{72 \text{ in}^2}{12 \text{ in}} = 6 \text{ in}
\]

Please provide the length of the base, and I can help you calculate the height.
