Answer:

The area of the parallelogram is 20 units²

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets explain how to solve the problem

- The vertices of the parallelogram are (0 , -2) , (3 , 2) , (8 , 2) , (5 , -2)

- The side joining the points (0 , -2) and (5 , -2) is a horizontal side

  because the points have same y-coordinates

- The side joining the points (3 , 2) and (8 , 2) is a horizontal side

  because the points have same y-coordinates

∴ These two sides are parallel bases of the parallelogram

∵ The length of any horizontal side = x2 - x1

∴ The length of the side = 5 - 0 = 5 <em>or</em> 8 - 3 = 5

∴ The length of one base of the parallelogram is 5 units

- The height of this base is the vertical distance between these two

  parallel bases

∵ The length of any vertical distance = y2 - y1

∵ y2 = 2 and y1 = -2 ⇒ the y-coordinates of the parallel bases

∴ The length of the vertical distance = 2 - (-2) = 2 + 2 = 4 units

∵ This vertical distance between the two parallel bases is the height

  of these bases

∴ The height of the parallelogram is 4 units

- The area of the parallelogram = base × height

∵ The base = 5 units and the height = 4 units

∴ The area = 5 × 4 = 20 units²

* The area of the parallelogram is 20 units²

use the elimination method to solve the system of equations choose the correct ordered pair 7x+4y=39 2y+4y=14
Anvisha [2.4K]

x = 5 \: and \: y = 1.

Step-by-step explanation:

7x + 4y = 39 \:  -  {eq}^{n} (1)

2x + 4y = 14  \: \:  -  {eq}^{n} (2)

Multiply Equation no (1) with 2 and Equation no (2) with 7.

14 x + 8y = 78.

14x + 28y = 98.

( - ) \: \:  \:  ( - ) \:  \:  \: ( - )

0x +  -20y =  - 20

- 20y =  - 20

y =  \frac{ - 20}{ - 20}

y = 1

Substitute the value of "y" in Equation no (1)

7x + 4y = 39.

7x + 4(1) = 39.

7x + 4 = 39.

7x = 39 - 4

7x = 35.

x =  \frac{35}{7}

x = 5.

8x6= 48 (not necessary to divide by 8 since you'd have to multiply it by 2 anyway because there are 2 triangles)
6x12=72
10x12=120

48+72+120+96=336
