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 base x height ÷ 2, 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 base x height, so the area of a parallelogram is just that.

Answer:

x = 5/2

x = 2 1/2

x = 2.5

Step-by-step explanation:

3x - 1 - (x + 3) = 1

3x - 1 - x - 3 = 1

2x - 1 - 3 = 1

2x - 4 = 1

2x = 1 + 4

2x + 5

2x = 5

x = 5/2 → 2 1/2 → 2.5 ( can be written in any of these forms depending on what you need to do)

Hope this helped! :)

The sum of two numbers is 92 their difference is 20 find the numbers

Ira Lisetskai [31]

92 - 20 = 72
72 / 2 = 36
36 + 20 = 56
36 + 56 = 92

So 36 and 56 are your answer

Solve for y 6x - 2y = 12 A. y= -3x + 6 B. y= 3x - 6 C. -3x + 6 D. -3x - 6

ololo11 [35]

The answer is y=3x-6. (B). First you subtract 6x from both sides. Then you get -2y=12-6x. Now, you divide both sides by -2. This gets you the final answer; y=3x-6 or y=-6+3x.
