The figure shows a parallelogram inside a rectangle outline: A parallelogram is shown within a rectangle. The length of the rect
angle is 1 over 2 foot and the width of the rectangle is 1 over 3 foot. The two equal bases of the triangles outside the parallelogram are labeled 1 over 6 foot. What is the area of the parallelogram? 1 over 9 square foot 1 over 6 square foot 1 over 5 square foot 1 over 3 square foot
1 answer:
To find the area of the parallelogram you will need to find the distance of the base which is part of the length of the rectangle. To find this distance you will subtract 1/2 and 1/6. The height of the parallelogram is the same as the width of the rectangle.

Hello there,
Well we are going to start off with the equation to find the slope based on the given points:
Now using the two given points we are going to plug in and solve:
=
=
From this you know that is the slope of the equation. However, to find the y-intercept we are going to use y = mx+ b and plug in one of the points to solve:
(-14) = (-22) + b
(-14) = (-11) + b
-3 = b
That means that the y-intercept is at (0, -3). Lastly, we are just going to plug all this into the slope-intercept form:
y = - 3
Hope I helped,
