9

Explanation:

The area of the parallelogram is equal to the base times height. The formula to use is A = b*h. The height and base are always perpendicular to one another.

The base is some unknown variable b. Multiply the base by the height 15 to get 15*b which is equal to the area 135

Therefore, 15*b = 135

Divide both sides by 15 and we isolate b

15b = 135

15b/15 = 135/15

b = 9

So the base is 9

Check:

area = base*height = 9*15 = 135

so the answer is confirmed

side note: we never use the value 17 at all. It is likely put in there as a distraction.

in the attachment.   i didn't see your choices.   the word which means there is choices.

step-by-step explanation:

(x,y)

x tells you how much left or right you go from the origin

y tells you how much down or up you go from the origin

so for example (-3,2), you go left 3 and up twice. i denoted which of the ordered pairs is which in my graph.
