complete question:

If the height and base of the parallelogram shown are each decreased by 2 cm, what is the area of the new parallelogram?

A parallelogram with a base of 10 centimetres and a height of 8 centimetres.

Answer:

area = 48 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

A parallelogram is quadrilateral with 4 sides formed by 2 pair of parallel lines. The area of a parallelogram is represented as follows :

area of parallelogram = B × H

where

B = breadth

H = height

According to the question the height and the base each reduced by 2 cm.

The new base = 10 - 2 = 8 cm

The new height = 8 - 2 = 6 cm

area = B × H

area = 8 × 6

area = 48 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that if (h,k) is the center of any circle and whose radius is = r then its equation is :

${(x - h)}^{2} + {(y - k)}^{2} = {r}^{2}$

Given, the equation of circle

${(x + 2)}^{2} + (y - 3) ^{2} = 25 = {5}^{2}$

By comparing, we will get,

h = -2

k = 3

So, center of the circle is ( -2,3)

Writing an equation would be most helpful, but depending on the situation drawing a diagram or reading a table could work better.
