Final answer:
To draw a parallelogram with an area of 24 square units, start by drawing two nonparallel lines of equal length. Then, find the point where perpendiculars from each endpoint intersect to form the fourth vertex.
Step-by-step explanation:
To draw a parallelogram that is not a rectangle and has an area of 24 square units, we can start by drawing any two nonparallel lines of equal length. Then, draw perpendiculars from each endpoint of one line to the other line. The point where the perpendiculars intersect will form the fourth vertex of the parallelogram. Next, measure the length and height of the parallelogram and multiply them to find the area. If the length is 6 units and the height is 4 units, for example, the area would be 6 * 4 = 24 square units.
