Question

Find the area of the parallelogram

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

We can see that this parallelogram is two right angles joined side by side. Normally the area of a parallelogram is Base x Height.

But let's make an exception.

For the first right angle. The area = 1/4(b+h)

¼(10.4+9.6) = 5cm²

We see that the base of the triangle is flipped and the angles correspond

so, the area would be 5cm² * 2

= 10cm²

Answer 2

Answer:

A = 99.84 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

The area (A) of a parallelogram is calculated as

A = bh ( b is the base and h the perpendicular height )

Here b = 9.6 and h = 10.4 , then

A = 9.6 × 10.4 = 99.84 cm²
