Question

Victoria correctly determined the area of this parallelogram by adding the areas of the rectangle and triangles.

Answer 1

Answer:

56 m²

16 m²

88 m²

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for the area of a rectangle is:

A=L×W (area=length × width)

A=7×8

A=56m²

The formula for the area of triangle is:

1/2×b×h (1/2 × base × height)

A=1/2×4×8

A=2×8

A=16m²

For the total area you will now add the area of each shape. We will multiply triangle area by 2 because there is 2 triangles.

A=56+2(16)

A=56+32

A=88m²
