HELP!!
the expression 6y^2 + 13y-5 reprsents the area of a parallelgram. Which xpression could represent the length of the base the parallelogram?

Answer 1

6y^2 + 13y-5 = (3y - 1)(2y + 5)
- one of these factors could be the base of the parallelogram
the other would be its perpendicular height

Answer 2

but i still dont understand how to find the length

Answer 3

the length of base could be 3y - 1 or 2y + 5

Answer 4

can you explain to me hoe you got that answer

Answer 5

how*

Answer 6

area of parallelogram is given as 6y^2 + 13y-5
and this area = length base * perpendicular height
since 6y^2 + 13y-5 = (3y - 1) times (2y + 5) either one could be length of base.

Answer 7

ok
