what would be the base of the parallelogram?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

actually you can pick any side as the base. But usually we would think of the base as being the side at the bottom.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Because there isn't really any necessary orientation to the parallelogram, you could call one side the base and rotate it so that it's at the bottom... so it's kind of arbitrary about which one you want to label as the base.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

how will we find the other side then?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yuo it's perspective.

@laraib: I guess you are provided with the area?

Parth (parthkohli):

\[\rm \rm base \times height = area\]So you got to know the area and height.

let me draw the actual figure
