Question

Please help me! Any help is appreciated!

A parallelogram is shown below:

Part A: What is the area of the parallelogram? Show your work.
Part B: How can you decompose this parallelogram into two triangles? If this parallelogram was decomposed into two triangles, what would be the area of each triangle?

Answer 1

A.
The area is:
2/3*3
3 can be written as 3/1 if that makes it easier:
2/3*3/1=6/3 which is simplified to 2ft^2
B. You put a line connecting A and C. The area of each would be 1ft^2

Hope this helps :)
