Parallelogram A B C D with side A D parallel to side B C and side A B is parallel to side D C. Point E is on side A B and is connected to point D by a dotted line. Point F is on side DC and connected to B by a dotted line. Angle D E B and angle F B E are right angles. A E and F C are 1.9 feet each. E B is 3.2 feet. F B is 2.8 feet.

Answer 1

14.28 ft

Explanation:

I took the quiz and it was right

Answer 2

14.28 ft squared

Explanation:

The formula for the area of a parallelogram is base times height.

Add 3.2 to 1.9 to get the base, and 2.8 is the height.

(3.2 + 1.9) x 2.8

5.1 x 2.8 = 14.28

14.28
