Clint found the area of the parallelogram shown. Which statement explains the error Clint made?
2 answers:
Answer:
D
Step-by-step explanation:
The area of a parallelogram is denoted by: , where b is the base and h is the height that is perpendicular to the base. Depending on what kind of parallelogram it is (square, rectangle, rhombus, regular parallelogram), that height <em>could</em> be the side length, but usually it is not; it is only the side length in special cases, like a square.
Here, we are given that the base is 11 and that the height is 4. Since the problem gives us two different values for the height versus the side length, we know that for this parallelogram, the height is not the same as the side length. Thus, we must use 4 for the height and 11 for the base in the area formula.
Therefore, the only answer that correctly points out this mistake is D.
Hope this helps!

now, notice, the rate of change for downloading is negative, because, "y" is decreasing, namely the Mbs to be downloaded, are less and less and less as the minutes go by, because the file is almost fully downloaded
so is -4.8
now... at 8minutes, there are 9.6Mbs to download
bear in mind that 9.6 is just 4.8 * 2
that simply means, another minute, another 4.8 Mbs, and another minute and another 4.8 Mbs and the file is done
so, the file downloaded really in 10minutes
now, we know the rate is -4.8 or -24/5, let us nevermind the sign for now
since we know the file is downloading at 24Mbs in 5minutes, a rate of 24/5
how much is it for 10 minutes? well 10 is really just 5 * 2
so if it downloads at a rate of 24Mbs per 5mins, in 10 minutes it downloaded 24*2 or 48Mbs
