Answer:
72 ft²
Step-by-step explanation:
Given :
Parallelogram ABCD with side AD parallel to side BC and side AB is parallel to side DC.
Point E is on side AB. AE is 3 feet. DC is 9 feet.
A dotted segment DE runs from point D to the opposite side AB and is perpendicular to side AB.
DE is 8 feet.
To Find: Area of parallelogram
Solution :
Refer the attached figure .
Since opposite sides of parallelogram is equal .
So DC=AB=9 feet
Area of parallelogram = base * height
= AB*DE
=9*8 = 72 ft²
Thus the area of garden in the shape of parallelogram is 72 ft²
