To find the length of the base of the rectangle, we can use the formula for the area of a rectangle:
\[
\text{Area} = \text{Base} \times \text{Height}
\]
We know the area (195 square millimeters) and the height (15 millimeters). Let \( b \) be the length of the base. Plugging in the values, we have:
\[
195 = b \times 15
\]
To find \( b \), we can rearrange the equation:
\[
b = \frac{195}{15}
\]
Now, we can perform the division:
\[
b = 13
\]
Thus, the length of the base is \( 13 \) millimeters.
