How is finding the area of a parallelogram like finding the area of two congruent triangles?

madreJ [45]3 years ago

If you look at either diagonal (line joining opposite angles) it forms 2 triangles that are identical, both in size and shape, but that are in different positions. So by finding the area of one using <u>base x height ÷ 2,</u> and then adding them together, you get the area of the polygon.
However, you will find that that would be the same as just doing <u>base x height</u>, so the area of a parallelogram is just that.

yulyashka [42]

Answer:

m<S = 45°

Step-by-step explanation:

The sum of the measures of the angles of a triangle equals 180 deg.

m<R + m<S + m<T = 180

3x + 2x + 3x = 180

8x = 180

x = 22.5

m<S = 2x = 2(22.5) = 45
