Question

Find the area of the parallelogram. 1,188 in2 69 in2 138 in2 1,440 in2

side 1: 40inches
side 2: 36 inches
height: 33 inches

Answer 1

area=legnth × width or a=l×w
area= 40×36
40×36=1,440
so the answer is 1,440 in2

Answer 2

Area of parallelogram = 1440 inch²

Explanation:

Consider a rectangle with side 1: 40inches and side 2: 36 inches.

Let us change that in to a parallelogram by compressing two opposite diagonals till the height is changed to 33 inches. This is our parallelogram.

So area of parallelogram is equal to area of a rectangle with side 1: 40inches and side 2: 36 inches.

Area of parallelogram = Area of a rectangle with side 1: 40inches and side 2: 36 inches

Area of parallelogram = 40 x 36 = 1440 inch²

Area of parallelogram = 1440 inch²
