The area of a parallelogram must be less than 180 cm the base Is 15 how would you write and solve an inequality describe h the height of the parallelogram
In order to write the inequality describing the height of the parallelogram, we first need to recall the formula for finding the area of a parallelogram, which is:
Area = base x height
Given that the base is 15 cm and the area must be less than 180 cm², we can write the following inequality:
15h < 180
To solve for the height (h), we can divide both sides of the inequality by 15:
h < 180 / 15
h < 12
Therefore, the height of the parallelogram must be less than 12 cm in order for the area to be less than 180 cm².
