Answer:
base = 8[tex]\frac{1}{2}ft[/tex]
Step-by-step explanation:
The general formula for the area of a parallelogram is:
A = bh, where b = the length of the base and h = the height
Using the given values for area and height, we can solve for the missing variable of 'b':
23[tex]\frac{4}{5}=\frac{119}{5}[/tex]
2[tex]\frac{4}{5}=\frac{14}{5}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{119}{5}=\frac{14}{5}h[/tex]
Multiply both sides by the reciprocal:
[tex](\frac{5}{14})(\frac{119}{5})=(\frac{14}{5})(\frac{5}{14})h[/tex]
[tex]\frac{119}{14}=h[/tex]
[tex]h=8\frac{1}{2}ft[/tex]
