Question

I’m stuck on how to do these for Geometry.

Answer 1

`67(1)/(2)` sq, units.

Explanation:

See the diagram of the parallelogram with given dimensions.

We know, the area of a parallelogram = Length of any side × Perpendicular distance of this side from the opposite parallel side.

Here, it is given that the length of a pair of parallel sides is 9 units and the perpendicular distance between those parallel lines is 7.5 units.

Therefore, the area of the parallelogram is (9 × 7.5) = 67.5 square units. (Answer)

Hence, in fraction the area can be expressed as
`67(1)/(2)` sq, units. (Answer)
