Find the area of the parallelogram whose vertices are given below. A(negative 2,2) B(2,0) C(10,3) D(6,5)
1 answer:
Answer: Area of Parallelogram is 28 units squared.
Step-by-step explanation:
Knowing, any two vector sides of a parallelogram sharing the same initial point, we can find the area of parallelogram that two vectors are shaping, using the cross product of these two vectors a×b, where the area is given by
Area= |a×b| ___ (1)
From the given points,we may choose any three of them such and find a two vector and expresses the sides of parallelogram " or one side and a diagonal of parallelogram" ,we may choose for example B ,C and D.
Moreover, we may choose point B, to be common point for the two sides " the initial point of two vector" thus we need to find vector BD and vector BC .
