No, he forgot to add the area of the triangles to the area of the rectangle.
It is said that Jeremy thought he solved for the area of the whole parallelogram correctly by multiplying the base and height of the rectangle, which is just a part of the whole parallelogram.
Jeremy’s answer is incomplete, he only calculated the area of the triangle as the answer.
This is because one way of finding an area of a parallelogram is dividing the shape into a rectangle with a triangle on each side.
The real area of the parallelogram is 70 cm^2
(with areas of each triangles added)
With that being said, the formula of a parallelogram that is said is:
A = bh
Which means a height perpendicular to the base of the whole paralleogram.
So to solve for y, subtract 108 from each side.
The equation becomes -y=126
Since you don't want y to be negative then divide each side by -1 this will flip all of the signs (positives become negative and vice versa) without changing the number.
So the equation is now y= -126
Last option is your answer ( 0.00000991)
Answer:
about $20 because $98.25/5=$19.65
Step-by-step explanation:
Answer:
14 yards
Step-by-step explanation:
the area of a triangle is 0.5×b×h
so
plug in what you have
0.5×b×3=21
(3x0.5)b=21
1.5b=21
b=21/1.5
b=14
