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?
__meters
To find the base of the rectangle, we need to find the base of the parallelogram. The base of a parallelogram is a side that is parallel to the opposite side and is perpendicular to the height.
If we know the sides and angles of the parallelogram, we can calculate the base. If not, we would need more information to determine the base.
