Lanie’s room is in the shape of a parallelogram. The floor of her room is shown below and has an area of 108 square feet. What is the height of her room? Area of a parallelogram = bh
Given that the area of Lanie's room is 108 square feet and the room is in the shape of a parallelogram, we can use the formula for the area of a parallelogram: Area = base x height
Let b be the base of the room and h be the height of the room.
We know that the area is 108 square feet, so we can plug that into the formula: 108 = b x h
We also know that the base of the room is the same as the length of the floor, which is 12 feet. So, we can substitute b = 12 into the equation: 108 = 12 x h
Now, we can solve for the height of the room by dividing both sides by 12: h = 108 / 12 = 9
Therefore, the height of Lanie's room is 9 feet.
