Question

Sarah applies the pearl guitar fret markers to her fret board as shown. Each fret marker is in the shape of a parallelogram. Each of the three bottom fret markers has a base that measures 52.5mm and a height of 6mm. What is the area of each of the bottom fret markers? DO NOT INCLUDE UNITS. *

Answer 1

Explanation:

Since each fret marker is in the shape of a parallelogram, we would determine the area of each of the bottom fret markers by applying the formula for determining the area of a parallelogram. It us expressed as

Area = base × height

Each of the three bottom fret markers has a base that measures 52.5mm and a height of 6mm. Therefore, area of each the bottom fret markers is

52.5 × 6 = 315
