Question

1. Sarah applies the pearl guitar fret markers to her fret board as shown. Each fret marker is in the shape of a parallelogram. Each of the three bottom fret markers has a base that measures 52.5mm and a height of 6mm. What is the area of each of the bottom fret markers? DO NOT INCLUDE UNITS. *

Answer 1

315

Explanation:

We are told in the question that each fret marker is in the shape of a parallelogram

The area of a parallelogram is given as

Base × Height.

Each of the bottoms of the fret markers has the following values

Base = 52.5mm

Height =6 mm

The area of each of the bottom fret markers

= Base × Height

= 52.5 × 6

= 315

Therefore, the area of each of the bottom fret markers without unit is 315
