So a square is a special kind of rectangle, it is one where all the sides have the same length. Thus every square is a rectangle because it is a quadrilateral with all four angles right angles. However not every rectangle is a square, to be a square its sides must have the same length.

The length of the shorter side of a parallelogram is 29 cm. Perpendicular line segment, which goes through the point of intersec

Katena32 [7]

A = 900 $cm^{2}$

The area of a parallelogram can be found by taking its base (b) and multiplying by the height (h). The base has the measure of 33 +12 = 45 cm. Now, you just need to find the height of the parallelogram. The height can be found by using the pythagorean theorem ( $a^{2} + b^{2} = c^{2}$ .

So, when simplified the height of the parallelogram will be found from $\sqrt{ 29^{2} - 21^{2}}$

The height is 20 cm. The base is 45 cm. 45 x 20 = 900.

Answer:

<h2>C. 1,004.8 cubic units</h2>

Step-by-step explanation:

$V = ?\\r = 8\\h =5 \\\pi = 3.14\\\\V = \pi r^2 h\\\\V = 3.14 \times 8^2 \times 5\\V = 1004.8 cubic units$
