Question

You are making a table in the shape of a parallelogram to replace an old 24-inch by 15-inch rectangular table. You want the areas of two tables to be equal. The base of the parallelogram is 20 inches. What should the height be?

  1. 32 inches
  2. 12.5 inches
  3. 18 inches
  4. 16 inches

The correct answer is: 18 inches


    18 inches
    Area of rectangular table = 24 x 15 sq inch. = 360 sq in
    Base of parallelogram = 20 inch.
    Area of parallelogram = base x height
    => 360 = 20 x height
    => 360/20 = height
    => height = 18 in
