Question

What is the area of parallelogram RSTU? 21 square units 24 square units 28 square units 32 square units

Answer 1

Answer:21 units^2.

Explanation:

I do the box method. I took the pic, put it into MSPaint, and drew a box around the... b o x.

Then I took the area of the drawn box (7*7) and subtracted the area of the triangles you get.

The one on the top was a 7*3 and divided the result by 2 to get 10.5.

The bottom one is also a 7*3 and you still get 10.5.

Add em together to get 21.

TL;DR: A

Answer 2

Answer: 21 square units

Explanation:

We know that the area of parallelogram is given by:-

`A=height* base`

Let US denote the height of the Parallelogram RSTU with corresponding base ST.

By counting the distance between the points using grids or by distance formula,

US=
`|4-(-3)|=|7|=7\ units`

ST=
`|-1-(-4)|=|-1+4|=|3|=3\ units`

Now, the area of parallelogram RSTU is given by:-

`A=7*3=21\ \text{square units}`
