The area of the parallelogram is 45 square miles. find its base and height

A parallelogram is a 4-sided shape formed by two pairs of parallel lines. Opposite sides are parellel separately, so each pair of opposite sides have equal lengths and angles. To find the area of a parallelogram, multiply its base by height. The formula is: A(rea) = B(ase) * H(eight) * means multiply. In the question, the area of the parallelogram is known as 45 square miles, which means: 45 = B * H So we need to find out all the possible pair of factors, whose product is 45: 1 * 45 = 45 3 * 15 = 45 5 * 9 = 45 Then we know base and height will fall into each pair: 1 * 45 = 45 => B = 1 miles, H = 45 miles or B = 45 miles, H = 1 miles 3 * 15 = 45 => B = 3 miles, H = 15 miles or B = 15 miles, H = 3 miles 5 * 9 = 45 => B = 5 miles, H = 9 miles or B = 9 miles, H = 5 miles

Ihonestly don’t no that
