Answer:
The missing measurement is 9 miles
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
The Area of a parallelogram is equal to
[tex]A=bh[/tex]
where
b is the length of any base
h is the corresponding altitude
The altitude (or height) of a parallelogram is the perpendicular distance from the base to the opposite side (which may have to be extended).
In the figure, the altitude corresponding to the base is 4 miles
substitute
[tex]36=b(4)[/tex]
Solve for b
Divide by 4 both sides
[tex]b=\frac{36}{4} =9\ mi[/tex]
therefore
The missing measurement is 9 miles
