You find a parallelogram area by this formula:

Where
b is its base and
h, its height.
You get
b's value applying distance between two points formula.
If A and B points form the base:

And
h is the perpendicular distance between both bases.

Answer:
it is rational
Step-by-step explanation:
The first time is 4 over 5 and the second time is 1 over 5
You have to use this equation the a=5, h=4 and b=9 and you should get the answer of 28
