Given:
Length of the parallelogram = 25 feet
Width of the parallelogram = 20 feet
Perpendicular distance from the long side to the opposite long side = 18 feet.
To find:
The area of the piece of land which is a parallelogram.
Solution:
Area of a parallelogram:
Let the longer side, 25 feet is the base, then the height of the parallelogram is 18 feet. So, the area of the parallelogram is
Therefore, the area of the piece of land is 450 square feet.
