Question

Which equation can be used to find A, they area of the parallelogram shown? A = 5x9 A = 4x9 A = 1/2 x 5 x 9 A + 1/2 x 4 x 9

Answer 1

A = 4m*9m = 36m^2

Explanation:

After a quick online search, I've found that the image of the parallelogram is the one that can be seen below.

In the image we can see a parallelogram with sides:

S1 = 9m (the base)

S2 = 5m

And an altitude H = 4m

For a parallelogram, the area is given by the base times the altitude

In this case, we know that the base is b = 9m, and the altitude is H = 4m

Then the area of the parallelogram show is:

A = 4m*9m = 36m^2
