AB = 15
CD = 15
Distance from AB to CD = 10
the formula of area K= b*h
K= 15*10 = 150

Let

A(-4,9)\\B(11,9)\\C(5,-1) \\D(-10,-1)\\E(-4.-1)          

using a graphing tool

see the attached figure to better understand the problem

we know that

Parallelogram is a quadrilateral with opposite sides parallel and equal in length

so

AB=CD \\AD=BC

The area of a parallelogram is equal to

A=B*h  

where

B is the base

h is the height

the base B is equal to the distance AB

the height h is equal to the distance AE

Step 1

<u>Find the distance AB</u>

the formula to calculate the distance between two points is equal to

d=\sqrt{(y2-y1)^{2}+(x2-x1)^{2}}

A(-4,9)\\B(11,9)      

substitute the values

d=\sqrt{(9-9)^{2}+(11+4)^{2}}

d=\sqrt{(0)^{2}+(15)^{2}}

dAB=15\ units

Step 2

<u>Find the distance AE</u>

the formula to calculate the distance between two points is equal to

d=\sqrt{(y2-y1)^{2}+(x2-x1)^{2}}

A(-4,9)\\E(-4.-1)      

substitute the values

d=\sqrt{(-1-9)^{2}+(-4+4)^{2}}

d=\sqrt{(-10)^{2}+(0)^{2}}

dAE=10\ units

Step 3

<u>Find the area of the parallelogram</u>

The area of a parallelogram is equal to

A=B*h

A=AB*AE

substitute the values

A=15*10=150\ units^{2}

therefore

<u>the answer is</u>

the area of the parallelogram is 150\ units^{2}

The correct result would be y = -6/5 - (2 * sqrt(6))/5 and<span> y = (2 * sqrt(6))/5 - 6/5.

Scott took out a 4-year car loan for $5,500. He paid back a total of $7,370. What interest rate did he pay for this loan?
elena-14-01-66 [18.8K]
Amount of car loan taken by Scott = $5500
Amount of loan paid back by Scott = $7370
Then
Amount of money paid as interest by Scott = (7370 - 5500) dollars
                                                                     = 1870 dollars
Then
Percentage of interest given for the car loan = (1870/5500) * 100
                                                                       = 1870/55
                                                                       = 34 percent
So Scott had to pay a total interest rate of 34% in the four years.I hope the procedure is simple enough for you to understand and solve future problems.
