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.

867-964= -97

His final balance would be -97

Here’s the thing, a checking account acts like a debit card. Its your own cold hard cash. That means you can’t give away more then you have.

So here are the two options

1) At least one or at most 2 checks must’ve bounced

2) He got more money in his checking account
