The base of a parallelogram with the area (A) of 72 square inches and height (H) of 6 inches.

Use the formula for the area of a parallelogram A = bh

Step-by-step explanation:

Let's make a simple equation! It's much, much simpler than you think. Let's look closely.

Area = Base x Height

We already know the area, so we can substitute this already.

72 = Base x Height

We also know the height, 6.

72 = Base x 6

We can now replace "base" as x to make it simpler to solve the equation we made!

6x = 72x = 12The base of the parallelogram is 12 inches.
