Answer:

Area of parallelogram is 150 square ft

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the parallelogram in the figure whose height is 10 ft and base length is 15 ft.

Area of parallelogram is base \times height

                                       = 15\times 10ft^2

                                       = 150 square ft

now we have to decompose this parallelogram into rectangles and triangles and then to determine the shape.

The given parallelogram KLMN can be decomposed into 2 triangles and one rectangle.

2 right angled triangles KPL and NOM by construction

KL^{2}=KP^{2}+PL^{2}=10^{2}+2^{2}                                          =100+4=104

⇒ KL=\sqrt104=10.2 ft=MN         (∵ KLMN is a parallelogram)

Hence, dimension of triangles are 10 ft, 2 ft and 10.2 ft

Now rectangle KPON with dimension 15 ft and 10 ft because KP and NO are perpendiculars on LM.

Zarrin [17]

Step-by-step explanation:

You are finding the whole

0.7 × 20 = 14

or

70% of 20 = 7/10 x 20 = 7/10 x 20/1 = 140/10

140/10

140/10 = 14/1

The minimum number of questions he need to do are 14

I'm not sure if you are finding the part or the whole

let me know if im wrong
