The image shows a parallelogram with an area of 120 square units. The height is 12 units, and the task is to find the missing base, denoted as \( b \), while another dimension labeled 13 units doesn't directly affect the area formula for a parallelogram.

To find the missing base, we use the formula for the area of a parallelogram:
\[
\text{Area} = \text{base} \times \text{height}
\]
Given:
- Area \( = 120 \, \text{units}^2 \)
- Height \( = 12 \, \text{units} \)

We can solve for the base \( b \):
\[
b = \frac{\text{Area}}{\text{height}} = \frac{120}{12} = 10 \, \text{units}
\]

Thus, the missing base \( b = 10 \) units.

Would you like more details, or do you have any questions?

Here are some related questions to expand on this:
1. How would the area change if the height were doubled?
2. Can a parallelogram have all four sides equal and still be called a parallelogram?
3. What happens to the area if both the base and height are halved?
4. Is there a difference in area between parallelograms and rectangles if the base and height are the same?
5. How can you find the height of a parallelogram if only the base and area are given?

**Tip**: The area of a parallelogram depends only on its base and height, regardless of the slant of the sides.

The parallelogram shown below has an area of 120 units². Find the missing base b.
