How do you find the base and height of the parallelogram if the area is 180 square units?
base*height= area
so you need something else to solve it.
i dont know
To find the base and height of a parallelogram when the area is given, you need to use the formula for the area of a parallelogram.
The formula for the area of a parallelogram is A = base * height, where A represents the area, base represents the length of the base, and height represents the distance between the base and its opposite side.
In this case, you are given that the area is 180 square units, so you can write the equation as 180 = base * height.
To find the possible values for the base and height, you can start by listing all the factor pairs of 180. The factor pairs of 180 are: (1, 180), (2, 90), (3, 60), (4, 45), (5, 36), (6, 30), (9, 20), and (10, 18).
For each factor pair, you can consider them as length and width (or base and height, since a parallelogram can have its sides reversed) and calculate the corresponding area. If the calculated area matches the given area of 180 square units, then those values of base and height are valid.
For example, if you take the factor pair (6, 30), where the base is 6 and the height is 30, you can multiply them together: 6 * 30 = 180, which matches the given area. Hence, the base is 6 units and the height is 30 units.
You can repeat this process for each factor pair to find all the possible combinations of base and height that give the desired area of 180 square units.
