Question

what is the missing length?
area = 2968 cm²
y = centimeters

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the area formula of a parallelogram

The area formula of a parallelogram is \(A = base\times height\). In this problem, the area \(A = 2968\space cm^{2}\) and the height \(h = 56\space cm\), and the base is \(y\).

Step2: Solve for the base \(y\)

Using the formula \(y=\frac{A}{h}\), substitute \(A = 2968\) and \(h = 56\) into the formula. So \(y=\frac{2968}{56}\).
Calculate \(\frac{2968}{56}=53\).

Answer:

\(53\)
