Question

The back lawn is shaped like a parallelogram the base is 36 ft and the height is 31 feet. What is the square footage of the lawn

Answer 1

Hello!

This question simply asks for the area of the back lawn in square feet. Since it's shaped like a parallelogram, we must use the area formula to find out what the area is:

FORMULA:

A = bh

SUBSTITUTE:

A = 36 × 31

A = 1,116

The area of the lawn is 1,116 square ft.

(Write ft and put a small 2 above it. Sorry, I don't have access to symbols from a phone for whatever reason).
