Question

A window shaped like a parallelogram has an area of `18 1/3` square feet. The height of the window is `31` feet. How long is the base of the window?

Answer 1

0.5913978494 feet

Explanation:

Area of a parallelogram is `base xx height`
`31 xx base=18 1/3`

`base=[18 1/3]/31`

`base=[55/3]/31=55/3-:31/1=55/3 xx 1/31=55/93`

`base=0.5913978494 feet`
