The area of a parallelogram is 110 m² and its base is 22 m. What is its height?
Note
Height = area ÷ base = 110 ÷ 22 = 5 m. Use the vertical height, not the slanted side, because area depends on base and perpendicular height. Since area = base × perpendicular height, finding a missing height or base means dividing the area by the known measurement. The height must be the straight vertical distance to the base, not the slanted side.
