Looking at the image attached, we can see the assumed sales of the Chewy Candy Company for its new candy bar in Manila and Seoul. Setting up the given condition for separate branches, we clearly see that during the 6th month, the total sales in Manila first exceeded the cumulative total sales in Seoul.
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.
Each of the triangles are equal in base length, height, and area<span>. Remember the formula for the </span>area<span> of a triangle. The </span>area<span> of any triangle is 1/2 times the length of the base (which, in the </span>polygon<span>, is the length of a side) multiplied by the height (which is the same as the apothem in </span>regular polygon<span>).
