Question

A parallelogram is shown below:

A parallelogram ABCD is shown with DC equal to 9 feet and the perpendicular distance between AB and DC equal to 8 over 9 foot.

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

Answer:

a)area= b×h

=9×8/9

=8cm^2

b) by joining the line AC we get 2 e we equal triangles CAD &CAB.

area of that triangles are half of the area of the parallelogram 4 cm^2
