Answer:

The area of the parallelogram is 108 inches² <em>OR</em> 0.75 foot²

Step-by-step explanation:

* Lets revise the properties of the parallelogram

- Each two opposite bases are are parallel

- Each two opposite bases are equal in length

- Each two opposite angles are equal in measure

- Each two adjacent angles are supplementary (their sum = 180°)

- Its two diagonals bisect each other

- Each base has an altitude (height) drawn from the opposite

 base to it

* Look to the attached figure to more understand

- The area of the parallelogram is the product of the length of one

 of its base and the corresponding altitude (height)

∵ Area = B1 × H1 ⇒ OR ⇒ Area = B2 × H2

∵ B1 = 1 1/2 feet

∵ H1 = 6 inches

- The base and the height have different units, so we must

 change the unit of one of them to the other

∵ 1 foot = 12 inches

∵ B1 = 1 1/2 = 1.5 feet

∴ B1 = 1.5 × 12 = 18 inches

∴ A = 18 × 6 = 108 inches²

* The area of the parallelogram is 108 inches²

OR

∵ B1 = 1 1/2 = 1.5 feet

∵ H1 = 6 inches

∴ H1 = 6 ÷ 12 = 1/2 = 0.5 foot

∴ A = 1.5 × 0.5 = 0.75 foot²

* The area of the parallelogram is 0.75 foot²

<u>Answer:</u>

108 square inches

<u>Step-by-step explanation:</u>

We know that the formula of area of a parallelogram is given by:

<em>A = base × altitude</em>

Since here we have different units for base and altitude, so either we will change the base to inches or the altitude to feet.

Base = 1\frac{1}{2} ft = 1.5 ft

\frac{1}{1.5ft} =\frac{12inches}{x}

Base (x) = 18 inches

Substituting the values in the above formula to get:

Area of parallelogram = 18 × 6 = 108 square inches

Which of the following best describes a cylinder?
alexandr1967 [171]
Hey there!

The shape being described in letter A is a prism. A prism has two polygonal shapes on either end that can be any shape consisting of three or more sides. This won't be your answer, since cylinders have circular bases on either side. 

The shape being described in letter B is a cylinder. Not sure why they needed to throw in the plane part, but this is the only answer that describes the bases as being circular (or, as they put it, discs). 

The shape being described in letter C is a pyramid. If a shape has a polygonal base and meets at a point at the other end, it will be a pyramid. Obviously, a pyramid only has one end, meaning that this isn't your answer. 

The shape being described in letter D is a cone. Again, if a shape has a base and meets at a point, it will be a pyramid. However, in the case of a cone, the base will be circular and the other side will meet at a point. The entire shape will be rounded where a pyramid would have edges. Again, not your answer. 

Your answer will be B. Hope this helped you out! :-)
