Question

Cindy has a poster in the shape of a parallelogram. What is the area of this parallelogram? 2.85 ft² 3.60 ft² 4.35 ft² 15.21 ft² Parallelogram A B C D with side A D parallel to side B C and side A B is parallel to side D C. Point E is on side A B and is connected to point D by a dotted line. Point F is on side DC and connected to B by a dotted line. Angle D E B and angle F B E are right angles. A E and F C are 0.5 feet each. E B is 1.9 feet. F B is 1.5 feet.

Answer 1

Answer:

The area is 6 ft^2

Step-by-step explanation:

The base of the parallelogram is AE+EB, which is .5+1.9, and that equals 2.4.

The height of the parallelogram is FB, because it's a perpendicular line straight down (know that from the right angle formed), so it must be the height. That is 1.5.

The formula for area is base x height, which is 2.4x2.5, which equals 6.

Therefore, area of the parallelogram is 6 ft^2
