Answer/Step-by-step explanation:
Parallelogram A:
Area = 5x + 20
Base = x + 4
Height = h = ?
Area of Parallelogram = base * height
Plug in the values
5x + 20 = (x + 4) * h
Divide both sides by x + 4
[tex] \frac{5x + 20}{x + 4} = h [/tex]
[tex] \frac{5(x + 4)}{x + 4} = h [/tex]
[tex] 5 = h [/tex]
Height = 5
Parallelogram B:
Area = 8x - 24
Base = b
Height = 8
Area of Parallelogram = base * height
Plug in the values
8x - 24 = b * 8
Divide both sides by 8
[tex] \frac{8x + 24}{8} = b [/tex]
[tex] \frac{8(x + 3)}{8} = b [/tex]
[tex] x + 3 = b [/tex]
Base = x + 3
Parallelogram C:
Area = 12x + 6y
Base = 6
Height = h = ?
Area of Parallelogram = base * height
Plug in the values
12x + 6y = 6 * h
Divide both sides by 6
[tex] \frac{12x + 6y}{6} = h [/tex]
[tex] \frac{6(2x + y)}{6} = h [/tex]
[tex] 2x + y = h [/tex]
Height = 2x + y
