Question

What is the area of the parallelogram represented by the vertices A(-6, -1), B(-2, -1), C(-1, -4) and D(-5, -4)?

Answer 1

Answer: 12 units²

Explanation:

To find the area of a parallelogram, we use the formula A=l×w. To find the length and width, let's graph out the parallelogram to get a better view. Let's refer to the picture attached to see what the graph looks like. The length is 4 units while the width is 3 units. Therefore we multiply.

A=4×3=12 units²

Now, we know the area is 12 units².
