The length of the base of a certain parallelogram is $89 percent sign$ of the height of the parallelogram. Which expression represents the length of the base of the parallelogram, where $h$ is the height of the parallelogram?

A.

$89 h$

B.

$0.089 h$

C.

D.

$0.89 h$

Accepted Answer

Choice D is correct. It's given that the length of the base of the parallelogram is $89 percent sign$ 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 $StartFraction 89 Over 100 EndFraction h$ , or $0.89 h$ .

Choice A is incorrect. This expression represents $8,900 percent sign$ , not $89 percent sign$ , of the height of the parallelogram.

Choice B is incorrect. This expression represents $8.9 percent sign$ , not $89 percent sign$ , of the height of the parallelogram.

Choice C is incorrect. This expression represents $890 percent sign$ , not $89 percent sign$ , of the height of the parallelogram.
