Please help with this cylinder

x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of a parallelogram = base times height

Given area = 40

Given height = 4

Given = x + 6

Thus,

40 = 4 * (6 + x )

Step 1 distribute the 4

4 * 6 = 24

4 * x = 4x

we now have 40 = 24 + 4x

step 2 subtract 24 from each side

40 - 24 = 16

24 - 24 cancels out

now we have 16 = 4x

step 3 divide each side by 4

4x / 4 = x

16 / 4 = 4

we're left with x = 4

To check our work, we can plug in the value of x and find the area of the parallelogram then. If it equals 40 the x = 4 is true.

(x + 6) * 4

* substitute 4 for x *

(4 + 6) * 4

4 + 6 = 10

10 * 4 = 40

40 = 40

Hence x = 4

x = 4

Step-by-step explanation:

X + 6 feet

4 feets

it should be a.

hope it
