the lot
12 m
10 m
20 m
2. Maria Ailyn bought a lot in a parallelogram shape. Its base is 24 meters and its height is 16 meters. What is the area of
ota​

Answer 1

160 m²

384 m²

Explanation:

The area of a trapezium is given by :

A = 1/2(a + b)h

h = height ; a and b = lengths

From the diagram :

A = 1/2(12 + 20)10

A = 1/2(32)10

A = 16 * 10

A = 160 m²

2.)

Area of parallelogram = base * height

Base = 24 ; h = 16

A = 24 * 16

A = 384 m²
