Question

7. Calculate the area of parallelogram WXYZ

in two different ways. Show your work.

Answer 1

Solution has been given below

Explanation:

The area of a parallelogram is b * h . In the WXYZ i am using ZY as base.Suppose length of base is 5.0 cm and 2.2 cm is height

then area of parallelogram is

A = b * h

= 5.0 * 2.4

= 12

Area of parallelogram is 12 cm²

Second solution :

I am using YX as base whose base is 3.0 cm and whose height is 4.0 cm

then Area of parallelogram is

A = b * h

= 3 * 4

= 12 cm²

Area of parallelogram is 12 cm²
