Answer 1

Answer:

the area is 72 square unit

Step-by-step explanation:

first we will calculate the height of the triangle

so 13^2= 12^+5^2

so we get the height as 5 unit

the parallelogram can be divided into 2 right angled triangle (of base 12 unit and height 5 unit) and a rectangle (of length 12 unit and breadth 1 unit)

so area of parallelogram =

2( area of the triangle ) + area of rectangle =

2(half of 60 unit ) + 12 unit =

60 unit +12 unit = 72 unit square
