Question

Find the area of the parallelogram shown below and choose the appropriate result.

Answer 1

Answer:

The area of the parallelogram is 0.1875 mile² ⇒ D

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula of the area of a parallelogram is A = b1 × h1 = b2 × h2, where

• b1 and b2 are two adjacent sides of it

• h1 and h2 are the heights perpendicular to these bases

In the given figure

∵ There is a parallelogram

∵ One of its bases is 0.25 mile

∴ b1 = 0.25 mile

∵ the height of this base is 0.75 mile

∴ h1 = 0.75 mile

→ By using the rule of the area above

∴ The area of the parallelogram = 0.25 × 0.75

∴ The area of the parallelogram = 0.1875 mile²

∴ The area of the parallelogram is 0.1875 mile²
