Area of parallelogram must be less than 180 cm s
The area of a parallelogram is calculated by multiplying the base by the height. If we want the area to be less than 180 cm^2, we need to consider the maximum values for the base and height.
Let's assume the base of the parallelogram is 12 cm (which is a common size for a base) and let's find the corresponding height that would make the area less than 180 cm^2:
Area = base * height
180 = 12 * height
height = 180/12
height = 15 cm
So, for a base of 12 cm, the maximum height that would keep the area less than 180 cm^2 is 15 cm.
Therefore, in order for the area of the parallelogram to be less than 180 cm^2, the base should be 12 cm or less and the height should be 15 cm or less.
