Determine the height of a parallelogram with a base of 28.0 centimeters and an area of 380.0 square centimeters rounded to 3 significant digits.
The formula for the area of a parallelogram is A = base * height. We can rearrange this formula to solve for the height.
Let h be the height of the parallelogram. We can substitute the given values into the formula: 380 = 28 * h.
To find the value of h, we can divide both sides of the equation by 28: h = 380 / 28.
Now we can calculate h: h = 13.571428571428571428571428571429.
Rounding to 3 significant digits, the height of the parallelogram is 13.6 centimeters.
