complete question:
If the height and base of the parallelogram shown are each decreased by 2 cm, what is the area of the new parallelogram?
A parallelogram with a base of 10 centimetres and a height of 8 centimetres.
Answer:
area = 48 cm²
Step-by-step explanation:
A parallelogram is quadrilateral with 4 sides formed by 2 pair of parallel lines. The area of a parallelogram is represented as follows :
area of parallelogram = B × H
where
B = breadth
H = height
According to the question the height and the base each reduced by 2 cm.
The new base = 10 - 2 = 8 cm
The new height = 8 - 2 = 6 cm
area = B × H
area = 8 × 6
area = 48 cm²
Hi there!
So, to start you have to convert cups into ounces.
1 cup is 8 fluid ounces, so 3 cups are 8*3 which are 24 fluid ounces.
So, if she filled x amount of 2-ounce containers, then it would be 24/2 which are 12 containers that are full.
The answer is C) 12.
Hope it helps!
