Answer:
135 units²
Step-by-step explanation:
The area (A) of a parallelogram is calculated as
A = bh ( b is the base and h the perpendicular height )
To calculate h use Pythagoras' identity on the right triangle on the left
h² + 8² = 17²
h² + 64 = 289 ( subtract 64 from both sides )
h² = 225 ( take the square root of both sides )
h =
= 15 , thus
A = 9 × 15 = 135 units²
18+11v=w-13t
18+11-w=-13t
13t=w-11v-18
t=1/13w - 11/13v - 1 5/13
Hope this helps :)
So pythagrorean theorem is the ideal way and easiest way to solve this
a^2+b^2=c^2
8.5^2+11^2=x^2
72.25+121=193.25
square root of 193.25=13.9014 or 13.9 in
9.5^2+15^2=x^2
90.25+225=315.25
square root of 315.25=17.7553 or 17.8 ft
