Question

draw and label a parallelogram with a base twice as long as the height and an area less than 60 square inches. find the area

Answer 1

Answer: 5 cm by 10 cm gives an area of 50 cm^2

To do this draw a parallelogram and start by labeling the base as 10 cm. If 10 cm is the base, then the height needs to be 5 cm.

To find the area, multiply the base times height.

This will give you: 5 x 10 = 50 which is less than 60.
