1. Problem Description

The area of parallelogram DEFGDEFG is 143 square units. The base of the parallelogram, DGDG, is 13 units. We need to find the height (xx) of the parallelogram and round to the nearest tenth if necessary.

2. Solution Steps

The formula for the area of a parallelogram is:
Area=base×heightArea = base \times height
In this problem:
Area=143Area = 143
base=13base = 13
height=xheight = x
Substituting the values into the formula:
143=13×x143 = 13 \times x
To find the height xx, divide both sides of the equation by 13:
x=14313x = \frac{143}{13}
x=11x = 11

3. Final Answer

The height of the parallelogram is 11 units.
So, the answer is A.
