Question

What is the area of this parallelogram

Answer 1

17.15

Explanation:

There are 2 ways to solve this.

One way is this:

Add 1.4 and 3.5 together to get the total length of the parallelogram. The sum would be 4.9. Then multiply this number by the height of the figure(3.5cm). So that the product of 4.9 and 3.5 is 17.15.

The second way is this:

Find the area of the two triangles and the square and then add those products together. So add:

• 1.4 x 3.5 ÷2
• 1.4 x 3.5 ÷2
• 3.5 x 3.5

So solve this equation and you will get:

• 2.45 + 2.45 + 12.25
• =17.15

Answer 2

B. 12.25

Explanation:

A=bxh=3.5·3.5=12.25
