Question

6. Find the area of the parallelograr
​

Answer 1

A = 42 cm²

Explanation:

The formula of an area of a parallelogram:

`A=ah`

a - base

h - height

We have

`a=11(2)/(3)\ cm,\ h=3(3)/(5)\ cm`

Convert the mixed numbers to the improper fractions:

`11(2)/(3)=((11)(3)+2)/(3)=(35)/(3)\\\\3(3)/(5)=((3)(5)+3)/(5)=(18)/(5)`

Substitute:

`A=\left(11(2)/(3)\right)\left(3(3)/(5)\right)=\left((35\!\!\!\!\!\diagup^7)/(3\!\!\!\!\diagup_1)\right)\left((18\!\!\!\!\diagup^6)/(5\!\!\!\!\diagup_1)\right)=(7)(6)=42\ cm^2`
