<span>Some 120 prescription drugs sold worldwide today are derived directly from rainforest plants. And according to the U.S. National Cancer Institute, more than two-thirds of all medicines found to have cancer-fighting properties come from rainforest plants. Examples abound. Ingredients obtained and synthesized from a now-extinct periwinkle plant found only in Madagascar (until deforestation wiped it out) have increased the chances of survival for children with leukemia from 20 percent to 80 percent.</span>

Temka [501]

Complete question:

Tenesha is trying to draw a parallelogram and find its area using the two line segments shown.She begins by finding the missing vertex on the graph to be point (9, 5). Then she calculates the area of the parallelogram. What errors did she make? Check all that apply.

She did not find the correct vertex; it should be at (8, 5).

She used the wrong area formula; it should be mr023-3

She used the wrong length for the base; it should be 7, like the given base.

She used a side length of the parallelogram for the height instead of a line segment perpendicular to the base; the height should be 3.

She should have found a segment for the top that was not parallel to the bottom.

Answer:

2nd and 3rd option is incorrect.

Explanation:

The parallelogram is a simple quadrilateral with two parallel pairs of sides. The opposite or reverse sides of the parallelogram are of similar duration and the reverse angles of the parallelogram are of equivalent proportion.

The square has two sets of parallel sides, four right angles, and the four sides are identical. It's even a triangle and a parallelogram.

The rhombus is known as a four-sided parallelogram.
