Answer
4 inches
Work Step by Step
The equation for the area of a parallelogram is bh. The area and height are provided, so the length of the base can be found by working backwards:
A = bh
24 = b(6)
(Divide both sides by 6 to isolate b.)
$\frac{24}{6}$ = b$\frac{6}{6}$
4 = b
The length of the base is 4 inches.
