ABCD is a parallelogram.
AD = 40
FE = 90
Angle AFE = 90°
What is the area of the parallelogram?
To solve this problem, we analyze the given data:
Commonly, the area of a parallelogram is calculated using the formula: Area = Base Height. However, the problem lacks definition of what constitutes the height directly applicable to either base or any other base in the parallelogram's configuration.
The segment is noted, but it is unclear whether it functions as a height properly aligned perpendicular to a base of relevancy within the parallelogram , given this configuration.
Therefore, without additional context establishing the height using these segments and the position of and , the problem cannot calculate a definitive area for the parallelogram.
Based on problem statement challenges and insufficient guidelines explicitly establishing perpendicular relationships that function for the area calculations, the problem is designated unresolved for a clear-area determination.
Therefore, the correct conclusion in such an indeterminate case is: Cannot be solved.
Cannot be solved.
A parallelogram has a length equal to 6 cm and a height equal to 4.5 cm.
Calculate the area of the parallelogram.
The area formula is base × height, but the height must be the perpendicular distance between parallel sides. We don't know if segment FE serves as the actual height of parallelogram ABCD.
This tells us that segment FE is perpendicular to something at point F, but we need to know what it's perpendicular to and whether that relates to the parallelogram's sides.
For parallelogram area, you need: (1) length of one side and (2) perpendicular height to that side. Check if both pieces clearly relate to the same parallelogram.
Don't guess! Carefully analyze what each measurement represents. If you can't establish a clear base-height relationship for the parallelogram, the problem may be unsolvable with given information.
The diagram shows F and E as separate points, but their exact relationship to parallelogram ABCD isn't clearly defined. Without this clarity, we cannot determine if FE represents the needed height.
