Question

On a coordinate plane, parallelogram A B C D has points (negative 3, 5), (1, 5), (5, 0), and (1, 0). What is the area of parallelogram ABCD?

Answer 1

20 units^2

Explanation:

1. Put the points on a graph!

You can do this easily by searching up coordinate planes online for free. There are many websites.

2. Find the area!

The formula for area of a parallelogram is: a= b*h

By concluding this, we can find the area.

If you look at your parallelogram, we find the base and height are:

b = 4

h = 5

4 * 5 = 20 units^2

There you go!
