Question

On the following composite figure, the longer edge length is 14 millimeters. The shorter edge length is 8 millimeters. The width of the figure, at its longest point, is 11.3 millimeters. Decompose the figure into parallelograms or triangles only. Explain or show how you decomposed the shape. Note: Lines that look parallel are parallel, and lines that look congruent are congruent.

Answer 1

To decompose this shape I would draw a vertical line from the vertex that is pointing outside to the vertex that is pointing inside. By doing this the vertical line will give me 2 congruent parallelograms. Yes it's that simple

Explanation:

Answer 2

To decompose the shape, you would draw a vertical line from the vertex that is pointing outside of the shape that has two congruent sides all the way down to the vertex that's inside the shape. By doing this you will create two congruent parallelograms.
