Question

The figure shows a parallelogram inside a rectangle outline:

What is the area of the parallelogram?

A) 1/25 square feet
B) 11/25 square feet
C) 3/25 square feet
D) 4/25 square feet

Answer 1

A = base x height

A = (3/5 - 1/5) x 2/5

A = 2/5 x 2/5

A = (2/5)²

A = 2²/5²

A = 4/25

The answer is D) 4/25 square feet.
