Question 10 • EF Math 12 1st Nine Weeks

The formula for the area of a parallelogram is A = bh. Use this formula to write an equation for the area when the base b measures 35 inches, and the altitude is h. Determine the area of the parallelogram when the altitude is 27 inches.

Answer
A
A = 35 + h62 sq. in.
B
A = 35h124 sq. in.
C
A = 35 + h945 sq. in.
D
A = 35h945 sq. in.

Explanation

Substitute the base of 35 inches into the formula A = bh to get A = 35h. When the altitude is 27 inches, A = 35 × 27 = 945 square inches. The correct choice is D, A = 35h and 945 square inches.
