If the height and base of the parallelogram shown are each decreased by 2 cm what is the area of the new parallelogram

complete question:

If the height and base of the parallelogram shown are each decreased by 2 cm, what is the area of the new parallelogram?

A parallelogram with a base of 10 centimetres and a height of 8 centimetres

area = 48 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

A parallelogram is quadrilateral with 4 sides formed by 2 pair of parallel lines. The area of a parallelogram is represented as follows :

area of parallelogram =  B × H

where

B = breadth

H = height

According to the question the height and the base each reduced by 2 cm.

The new base = 10 - 2 = 8 cm

The new height = 8 - 2 = 6 cm

area = B × H

area = 8 × 6

area = 48 cm²

answer: bea's uncle is 25 years old.

step-by-step explanation:

given the equation , we can say that the variable "x" represents the age of bea's uncle. then to find his age, we need to solve for "x":

we must add 15 to both sides of the equation:

now we need to divide both sides of the equation by 3:

therefore, we can conclude that bea's uncle is 25 years old.
