The parallelogram shown below has an area of
20 units squared. Find the missing base

5 units

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a parallelogram is . SInce we know the area and the height, we can directly plug the values into this equation and solve for the base.

20=b(4)         [divide both sides by 4]

b=5 units
