Q. Felix and his friends attended the opening of the new community center at Forest Ridge Park. The mayor unveiled a parallelogram-shaped decorative plaque at the entrance to the park with the date of the special event. Its bottom edge is 9 inches long, and its area is 126 square inches.Which equation can you use to find how tall the plaque is, h?Choices:(A) 126=9h(B) 126=21×9×hHow tall is the plaque?Write your answer as a whole number or decimal. Do not round.____ inches
Identify Formula: First, let's identify the correct formula to calculate the height of the parallelogram. The area of a parallelogram is given by the formula Area = base × height. Here, the base is 9 inches, and the area is 126 square inches. So, the equation to find the height (h) is 126=9h.
Solve Equation: Now, solve the equation for h. Divide both sides of the equation by 9 to isolate h:9126=hh=14
