The formula to find the area of a parallelogram is:
Area = base * height
Given that the area is 240 cm² and the height is 20 cm, we can substitute these values into the formula:
240 cm² = base * 20 cm
To solve for the base, we divide both sides of the equation by 20 cm:
12 cm = base
Therefore, the corresponding base is 12 cm.
