Necesito ayuda en una pregunta en un trabajo de la escuela

Answer 1

- The formula for finding the area of a parallelogram is:

`\begin{gathered} A=b* h \\ where, \\ b=base\text{ of the parallelogram} \\ h=height\text{ of the parallelogram} \end{gathered}`

- The question has given us the height to be

`(1)/(3)ft`

- But we are not clearly given the base (b), although, we can infer it from the diagram.

- The base can be found by visualizing the image as shown below:

- From the above, we can see that the base (b) is

`(1)/(2)-(1)/(6)=(3-1)/(6)=(2)/(6)=(1)/(3)ft`

- Thus the area of the parallelogram is:

`\begin{gathered} A=b* h=(1)/(3)*(1)/(3) \\ \\ A=(1)/(9)ft^2 \end{gathered}`
