I NEED HELP NOW MY ASIGNMENT IS DUE BEFORE 8;00 PLZZZ HELP AND PUT A ANSWER THAT HASN'T BEEN USED(05.02)Mr. Morris is going to save money and replace his sailboat's mainsail himself. He must determine the area of the mainsail in order to buy the correct amount of material. Calculate the area of the parallelogram to determine how much material should be purchased. Be sure to explain how to decompose this shape into rectangles and triangles. Describe their dimensions and show your work.

Parallelogram with base of 14 feet, height of 12 feet, and triangle base of 3 feet.

Answer 1

10 feet

Explanation:

Answer 2

See below

Explanation:

Area of parallelogram is

A = base of parallelogram x height of parallelogram

= 14 x 12 = 168 sq feet

Break parallelogram down into figures

There would be 2 triangles and 1 square

Area of 1 triangle = 0.5 (3 x 12) = 18

Area for 2 triangles = 2 x 18 = 36

Area of square = base x height

= 11 x 12 = 132

132 + 36 = 168

Area of parallelogram is 168 sq feet
