Question

Find the area of a parallelogram with height 4 4/5 and base is 5 2/3

Answer 1

This parallelogram has an area of 27.17.

To find this you use the formula a = bh

So when you fill in base (b) and height (h) with the values provides you get the formula a = 5.66 x 4.8 then you just multiply those two numbers together. If you don't understand any part of this, please let me know and I will explain in more detail.

Answer 2

A = bh

$b=5\dfrac{2}{3}=\dfrac{5\cdot3+2}{3}=\dfrac{17}{3}\\\\h=4\dfrac{4}{5}=\dfrac{4\cdot5+4}{5}=\dfrac{24}{5}\\\\A=\dfrac{17}{3}\cdot\dfrac{24}{5}=\dfrac{17}{1}\cdot\dfrac{8}{5}=\dfrac{17\cdot8}{1\cdot5}=\dfrac{136}{5}=27.2$

Answer: A = 27.2.
