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. Bottom is 12m and the height is 10m
The area of a parallelogram is found by multiplying the base by the height. In this case, the base of the parallelogram shaped piece of land is 12m and the height is 10m.
So, the area of the garden is:
Area = base x height
Area = 12m x 10m
Area = 120 square meters
Therefore, the base of the rectangle formed to cover the parallelogram shaped piece of land is 12 meters.
