The area (A) of the parallelogram with altitude a and base b is: A = a * b
We have: A = ? a = 6 in Since 1 inch is 0.083 feett, then 6 inches is a = 6 * 0.083 ft = 0.498 ft ≈ 0.5 ft = 1/2 ft b = 1 1/2 ft = 1 + 1/2 ft = 2/2 + 1/2 ft = 3/2 ft _______ A = a * b a = 1/2 ft b = 3/2 ft A = 1/2 * 3/2 = 3/4 ft² = 0.75 ft²
