Question

Doug makes a parallelogram-shape sign for his shop.

What is the area of this parallelogram?
Round to the nearest hundredth.

Answer 1

The area of a parallelogram is b*h
A= 5.1*2.8
A= 14.28 ft^2

Answer 2

it is the area of two triangle and one rectangle
area of a triangle is 1/*b*h
A=1/2*1.9*2.8=2.66 ft^2 multiply it by 2 as we have 2 triangle= 5.32 ft^2

Area of a rectangle=w*l=3.2*2.8 =8.96 ft^2
Add them =8.96+5.32=14.28ft^2
