Find the area of a parallelogram with base length
The area 
of a parallelogram with height 
and base 
can be found with the equation 
. However, while we have been given the length of the base and of another side of the parallelogram, we still do not know the length of the base. Therefore, we do not have enough information to find the area.
The area
