Question

Find the area of the parallelogram

Answer 1

the answer is to your question is 48

Answer 2

Answer:

48 square units

Step-by-step explanation:

to find areas of unusual figures, we divide the section into more easy figures to find its area, in this case we can divide the parallelogram into two triangles, drawing a line from point D to point B

then we will have two triangles whose area is easier to find,let´s see the AB-BD-DA triangle

$A=\frac{b*h}{2}$

b= 6 units (from -6 to zero)

h=8 units ( from -4 to 4)

$A=\frac{6*8}{2} =24$   square units

the area of the triangle DC-CB-BD is the same,

it's the same triangle but turned up,  so we have a  total area

At=24 square units* 2= 48  square units

Have a great day
