Question

In the accompanying diagram, parallelogram ABCD has

Answer 1

Answer:

The area of the paralellogram is 24 square units.

Step-by-step explanation:

Geometrically speaking, the area of the parallelogram has an equation equivalent to the area formula for a rectangle, that is:

$A = b\cdot h$ (1)

Where:

$A$ - Area.

$b$ - Base.

$h$ - Height.

The base and height of the parallelogram are, respectively:

Base

$b = 8-2$

$b = 6$

Height

$h = 5-1$

$h = 4$

Then, the area of the parallelogram is:

$A = (6)\cdot (4)$

$A = 24$

The area of the paralellogram is 24 square units.
