Question

Find the area of this parallelogram in unit9yd13 yd10 yd

Answer 1

Given: A parallelogram with the dimension below

`\begin{gathered} b=\text{base}=13yd \\ h=\text{height}=9yd \\ a=\text{slant side=10yd} \end{gathered}`

To Determine: The area of the given parallelogram

The area of a paralleogram is given by the formula

`A_{\text{PARALLELOGRAM}}=\text{base}* height`

Substitute the base and the height into the formula

`\begin{gathered} A_{\text{PARALLELOGRAM}}=13yd*9yd \\ A_{\text{PARALLELOGRAM}}=117yd^2 \end{gathered}`

Hence, the area of the given parallelogram is 117yd²
