Question

Y

Answer 1

Answer:

• rectangle: 11 × 20
• triangle area: 110 u²
• parallelogram area: 110 u²

Step-by-step explanation:

See below for a graph showing the parallelogram and the rectangle.

The dimensions of the rectangle are 11 by 20. The rectangle area is ...

  rectangle area = bh = (11)(20) = 220 . . . square units

There are 2 right triangles with a base of 10 and a height of 1. There are 2 right triangles with a base of 10 and a height of 10. The total area of the triangles is ...

  triangle area = 2(1/2)(10)(1) +2(1/2)(10)(10) = 10(1 +10) = 110 . . . square units

The area of the parallelogram is the difference of these, ...

  parallelogram area = rectangle area - triangle area

  = (220 units²) -(110 units²) = 110 units²

The area of parallelogram ABCD is 110 square units.

_____

Check

The parallelogram has a base of 10√2 and a height of 5.5√2, so an area of (10√2)(5.5√2) = 110 square units. This matches the above result.
