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

1 answer:

4 0

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.

Step-by-step explanation:

The question means what is the probability of not getting 5 three leafed soybeans

To find the probability we can subtract the number of getting 5 three leafed soybeans from 1

1 - 0.6×0.6×0.6×0.6= 0.9209

The simplified form of the expression; (3/4)-¹ as given in the task content is; 4/3.

<h3>What is the simplified form of the expression as given in the task content?</h3>

It follows from the task content that the expression in discuss can be simplified as follows by the laws of indices;

(3/4)-¹

Hence, due to negative exponent, the result is;

= 1 ÷ (3/4)¹

= 1 × (4/3)

= 4/3.
