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.
a.

A = 35 + h
62 sq. in.

c.

A = 35 + h
945 sq. in.
b.

A = 35h
124 sq. in.

d.

A = 35h
945 sq. in.

mathmale · Answer

the area formula is given and is    A = bh, where b is the length of the base and h is the height.  If y ou'll read the problem correctly you'll see that both b and h are given.  Choose one of the possible answer choices and explain your reasoning.  Why choose that one?
