ABE is a 45 45 90 right triangle

ratio of leg: hypo = a: a√2

Given hypo AB = 18√2 so leg AE = EB = 18

Area of parallelogram = bh where b = 28 and h = EB = 18

so A = 28 x 18 = 504

Answer

A = 504 square units.

To calculate the area of this parallelogram first you have to solve 18 to the power of 2. If you look at point A you see it says 45 degrees. So it should subtract 180 from the 45 degrees to get your total angle degrees. After that you multiply to find your answer
