Question

An artist is using tiles in the shape of a parallelogram to make a mosaic. The tiles have the dimensions of 10 in and a hieght of 5 in. What is the area of one tile?

Answer 1

50in²

Explanation:

To find the area of a parallelogram, we use the formula:

A = bh

In this case our variables are.

b = 10in

h = 5in

Now let's plug in our values into the formula.

A = bh

A = (10in)(5in)

A = 50in²

So the total area of one tile is 50in².
