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=21×9×h(B) 126=9hHow tall is the plaque?Write your answer as a whole number or decimal. Do not round.____ inches
Calculate Area: To find the height of the parallelogram, we need to use the formula for the area of a parallelogram, which is base times height. The base is given as 9 inches, and the area is 126 square inches.
Set up Equation: Set up the equation using the correct formula: Area=base×height. Substituting the given values, we get 126=9×h.
Solve for h: Solve for h by dividing both sides of the equation by 9. So, h=9126.
Calculate h: Calculate h: 126 divided by 9 equals 14.
