Answer 1

Answer:

135 units²

Step-by-step explanation:

The area (A) of a parallelogram is calculated as

A = bh ( b is the base and h the perpendicular height )

To calculate h use Pythagoras' identity on the right triangle on the left

h² + 8² = 17²

h² + 64 = 289 ( subtract 64 from both sides )

h² = 225 ( take the square root of both sides )

h = $\sqrt{225}$ = 15 , thus

A = 9 × 15 = 135 units²
