Exercise 26 Page 638

We are given a parallelogram with an area of 104 square yards and a base of 8 yards.

We want to find the height of the parallelogram. To do so, let's recall that the area of a parallelogram is the product of any base b and its height h. A= b h In this case, A= 104, and b= 8. Let's substitute these values into the formula. 104= 8 h Now we can solve the equation we got for h to find the height of the parallelogram. We can do this by using the Division Property of Equality.

We found that h= 13 is a solution to the equation. This means that the height of the parallelogram is 13 yards.
