Question

Find the area of the figure. Round your answer to the nearest tenth.

Answer 1

11.5 m^2

Explanation:

The area of a parallelogram is base * height, so you have to find the height.

You can see on the left there's a 30 - 60 - 90 triangle with a hypotenuse of 4. Using the proportion rule, you know that the 2nd side is 4/
`√(3)` =
`4√(3)/3`.

Then, find the area, so do base * height = 5 *
`4√(3) /3` =
`20√(3)/3`.

Put this in a calculator and you get: 11.5 m^2
