Chapter 11.1, Problem 8CYU

To determine

To calculate: To find the value of x

Answer to Problem 8CYU

Therefore, the value of $x=17in$ .

Explanation of Solution

Given information:

  $\text{Area}=153i{n}^2$

Calculation:

The base of parallelogram is 9in

For obtaining the height ( $x$ ) of parallelogram,

  $\begin{array}{l}\text{Area}\text{=base}\text{}\text{}\text{×height}\\ 153=9\times x\\ \frac{153}{9}=x\\ 17in=x\end{array}$
