So, we know the area formula of a parallelogram
Area = Base x Height
We have two values which are given;
Area = 100 m²
Height = 5 m
Now, we have to plug in the given values to find the missing, which in this case, is the base
100 = Base x 5
To find the value of base, we have to bring 5 to the other side, since it is multiplied, we do the reverse function, which is division.
[tex] \frac{100}{5} = \frac{5(Base)}{5} [/tex]
5 and 5 cancels out in the right hand side
20 = Base
The base is 20 m long
