Answer:
Area of parallelogram is 150 square ft
Step-by-step explanation:
Given the parallelogram in the figure whose height is 10 ft and base length is 15 ft.
Area of parallelogram is
=
= 150 square ft
now we have to decompose this parallelogram into rectangles and triangles and then to determine the shape.
The given parallelogram KLMN can be decomposed into 2 triangles and one rectangle.
2 right angled triangles KPL and NOM by construction
⇒ (∵ KLMN is a parallelogram)
Hence, dimension of triangles are 10 ft, 2 ft and 10.2 ft
Now rectangle KPON with dimension 15 ft and 10 ft because KP and NO are perpendiculars on LM.
Keep in mind the the word "percent" translates to "for each 100." 25% can be read as "25 for each 100," which has the fractional representation 
and the decimal representation 0.25. All of these representations are just different ways of writing the same value.
Note too that the fraction can be reduced to 
, so what the question is really asking is: 1/4 of what number is 9?
Well, if we know that 1/4 of the number is 9, we can easily find how large the whole number is by finding all 4/4 of it (the <em>whole</em> number)<em /><em />, or 4 x 9, which multiplies out to 36.
