Question

The parallelogram has an area of 20 square inches. What are the dimensions of the parallelogram, to the nearest hundredth of an inch?

Answer 1

Answer:

A

Step-by-step explanation:

Since x is along the entire parallelogram we will use cosine to figure out it's length.

First we do cos(40) and get cos(40)=.7660

This .7660 is equal to $\frac{Adjacent}{Hypotenuse}$  or $\frac{x}{4}$

So we do .7660*4 and get 3.064 in for x

A is the only option with x=3.06 so it is the correct answer
