The base of the parallelogram, b, can be found by dividing the area by the height.



If the area of the parallelogram is represented by 6x2 + x + 3 and the height is 3x, which represents b, the length of the base?

Respuesta :

The area of a parallelogram is:
 A = b * h
 Where,
 b: base
 h: height
 Clearing the base we have:
 b = A / h
 Substituting values we have:
 b = (6x2 + x + 3) / 3x
 Rewriting we have:
 b = 2x + 1 / x + 1/3
 Answer:
 the length of the base is:
 b = 2x + 1 / x + 1/3

Answer:

b =  [tex]2x+\frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}{x}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of the parallelogram is represented by [tex]6x^{2} +x+3[/tex]

The height is [tex]3x[/tex]

The base of the parallelogram, b, can be found by dividing the area by the height.

So, 'b' can be found as [tex]\frac{6x^{2}+x+3 }{3x}[/tex]

In simplified form, we can write this as :

=> [tex]\frac{6x^{2} }{3x}+\frac{x}{3x}+ \frac{3}{3x}[/tex]

=> [tex]2x+\frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}{x}[/tex]

Hence, base or 'b' is [tex]2x+\frac{1}{3}+\frac{1}{x}[/tex]
