Question 1 Report

The area of a parallelogram is 513cm\(^2\) and the height is 19cm. Calculate the base.

Answer Details
The area of a parallelogram is given by the formula: Area = base × height In this problem, the area and height of the parallelogram are given as 513cm\(^2\) and 19cm respectively. We can rearrange the formula to solve for the base: base = Area ÷ height Substituting the given values, we get: base = 513cm\(^2\) ÷ 19cm = 27cm Therefore, the base of the parallelogram is 27cm. The answer is, 27cm.
