Let h be the height of the room.
We know that the area of a parallelogram is given by the formula:
Area = base x height
Given that the area of the room is 108 square feet, and the base is not given, we cannot directly solve for the height. However, we know that the area is the product of the base and height. Therefore, the height h can be found by dividing the area by the base:
height = Area / base
height = 108 ft^2 / base
As the base is not given, we cannot determine the height of the room without that information.
The base is 9 ft.
Given that the base of the parallelogram room is 9 ft and the area is 108 square feet, we can use the formula for the area of a parallelogram:
Area = base x height
Substitute the given values:
108 = 9 x height
Solve for height:
height = 108 / 9
height = 12 ft
Therefore, the height of Lanie's room is 12 feet.
