How do you determine the base of a parallelogram given area

The video tutorial explains how to find the base and height of a parallelogram given its area. It starts by introducing the problem and explaining the relationship between the base and height, where the height is three times the base. The tutorial then derives the formula for the area of a parallelogram and uses it to set up an equation. Finally, it solves the equation to find the values of the base and height, demonstrating the calculation process step-by-step.

What is the relationship between the height and base of the parallelogram in the problem?

• The height is equal to the base.

• The height is half the base.

• The height is three times the base.

• The height is twice the base.

Which formula is used to calculate the area of a parallelogram?

• Area = base + height

• Area = base * height

• Area = base / height

• Area = 2 * (base + height)

How is the height expressed in terms of the base in this problem?

• Height = base + 3

• Height = base - 3

• Height = base / 3

• Height = 3 * base

What is the first step in solving for the base and height after setting up the equation?

• Subtract 3 from the area

• Multiply the base by 3

• Divide the area by 3

• Add 3 to the base

What is the approximate value of the base after solving the equation?

• 24

• 18

• 12

• 36
