No 70 can not be the height because area is b·h and 250·70= 17500. (Please give brainliest answer :) :D )

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

  • Building is shaped like a parallelogram
  • Area: 20,000 square feet
  • The base (B):  250 feet

Let h is the height of the building

As we know that, the formula to find the area of the parallelogram is:

  • A = Bh

In this situation, we have:

A = 20,000 square feet

<=> 250h = 20,000

<=> h = 80 ft

So it's height can not be 70 feet

Hope it will find you well.
