Question

The two red parallelograms are identical

the two blue parallelograms are identical

what is the area of the parallelogram in the middle outlined in purple?

Answer 1

Answer:

6

Explanation:

The parallelograms all form a bigger parallelogram with the dimensions of 8 x 9

So to find the inner one you simply subtract the bases of the blues from the total for the base of the inner: 8 - 6 = 2

Then to find the height of the inner on you subtract the height of the red from the height of the blue: 6 - 3 = 3

Then you put these into the equation for area of a parallelogram which is b x h to get 3 x 2, which is equal to 6

Hope this helps!
