A.

$89 h$

B.

$0.089 h$

C.

$8.9 h$

D.

$0.89 h$

Accepted Answer

Choice D is correct. It's given that the length of the base of the parallelogram is 89 % of the height of the parallelogram. Since h is the height of the parallelogram, it follows that the length of the base of the parallelogram can be represented by the expression 89 100 h , or 0.89 h . Choice A is incorrect. This expression represents 8,900 % , not 89 % , of the height of the parallelogram. Choice B is incorrect. This expression represents 8.9 % , not 89 % , of the height of the parallelogram. Choice C is incorrect. This expression represents 890 % , not 89 % , of the height of the parallelogram.
