Question

Area of parallelograms and trapezoids:What is the area? Write your answer as a fraction or as a whole or mixed number.

Answer 1

`24(5)/(9)\text{ square yards}`

Step-by-step explanation:

The given figure is a parallelogram with the dimensions:

• Base = 4⅓ yd

,

• Height = 5⅔ yd

The area of a parallelogram is calculated using the formula below:

`\text{Area}=\text{Base}* Height`

Substitute the values:

`\begin{gathered} \text{Area}=4(1)/(3)*5(2)/(3) \\ =(13)/(3)*(17)/(3) \\ =(221)/(9) \\ =24(5)/(9)\text{ square yards} \end{gathered}`
