ABCD is a parallelogram.
Its perimeter is 47 cm.
What is its area?
First, let's remember that the perimeter of a parallelogram is the sum of its sides,
which is
AB+BC+CD+DA
We recall that in a parallelogram, opposite sides are equal, so
BC=AD=6
Let's substitute in the formula:
2AB+12=47
2AB=35
AB=17.5
Now, after finding the missing sides, we can continue to calculate the area.
Remember, the area of a parallelogram is side*height to the side.
17.5*8= 140
cm²
A parallelogram has a length equal to 6 cm and a height equal to 4.5 cm.
Calculate the area of the parallelogram.
