<h3>Answer: 20 square feet (choice A)</h3>

The base is AB = 5 ft because AB = CD. Recall that opposite sides in a parallelogram are congruent and parallel.

The height is DE = 4 ft

Area of a parallelogram is base times height. It's effectively the same formula as a rectangle (any rectangle is a parallelogram, but not the other way around).

So,

area of parallelogram = base * height = 5*4 = 20

note: the base is always perpendicular to the height

another thing to point out: the info AE = 2 ft isn't used at all. It's probably put in there to distract or to make students try to find AD using the pythagorean theorem. Knowing the length of AD will not help find the area of the parallelogram. Though now that I think about it, you could divide this parallelogram into a rectangle and two triangles. Then find the area of each small piece to add them up to get the final answer. I show what I mean in the attached image below. However, it's much easier to use the formula area = base*height.

Hi There!

----------------------------------------

Problem #1:

At the dealership where she works, Sade fulfilled 3/10 of her quarterly sales goal in January and another 1/10 of her sales goal in February. What fraction of her quarterly sales goal had Sade reached by the end of February?

3/10 + 1/10 = 4/10

4/10 of her goal.

----------------------------------------

Problem #2:

Shane has been monitoring his mileage. According to last week's driving log, he drove 1/10 of a mile in his car and 9/10 of a mile in his truck. How far did Shane drive last week in all?

1/10 + 9/10 = 10/10 = 1

Shane drove 1 mile.

----------------------------------------

Problem #3:

For a class experiment, Vina's class weighed a log before and after subjecting it to termites. Before subjecting it to termites, the log weighed 7/10 of a pound. After the termites, the log weighed 3/10 of a pound. How much weight did the termites take from the log?

7/10 - 3/10 = 4/10

The termites took 4/10 pound away from the log.
