A gardener wants to cover a parallelogram-shaped piece of land with colorful flowers. To find the area of the garden, the gardener composes a rectangle. What is the base of the rectangle in meters?
10 m height
12 m width
The area of a parallelogram is given by the formula: Area = base x height
Since the parallelogram can be composed into a rectangle with the same area, the base of the rectangle will be the same as the width of the parallelogram.
Therefore, the base of the rectangle is 12 meters.
