Answer:

x=15

Step-by-step explanation:

First, we can note that if the triangle created by the dash on the left side is moved over to the empty space on the right, it would create a rectangle.

The area of a rectangle can be found by multiplying the base by the height.

So, we get

8*x=120

8x=120

x=120/8

x=15

Answer:

[tex]15yd[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

The area of a parallelogram is [tex]base \times height[/tex].

The height is 8 yards and the base is x yards.

We were given that the area is [tex]120\:yd^2[/tex].

We substitute the values to get:

[tex]x\cdot 8=120[/tex]

Divide both sides by 8 to get:

[tex]x=\frac{120}{8}[/tex]

[tex]x=15[/tex]

Therefore the value of [tex]x[/tex] is 15 yards.
