AC=4 height of the parallelogram for side CD is 3 cm

Calculate the area of the parallelogram

444AAABBBDDDCCC

Video Solution

Solution Steps

00:00 Find the area of the parallelogram
00:04 The perimeter of the parallelogram equals the sum of its sides
00:11 Opposite sides are equal in a parallelogram
00:21 Let's substitute appropriate values in the perimeter formula and solve for AB
00:38 This is the length of side AB
00:46 Now let's calculate the area of the parallelogram using height(H) multiplied by side (CD)
00:51 Let's substitute appropriate values and solve for the area
00:55 And this is the solution to the problem

Answer

21 cm².
