00:14 Let's find the area of parallelogram, A, B, C, D.
00:18 We'll use the formula for the area of a parallelogram.
00:22 Multiply side D, C by height, H.
00:26 Let's draw height H to meet side D, C.
00:33 But we don't know height, H, for side D, C.
00:40 Now, let's try using side B, C.
00:45 Draw height H to meet side B, C.
00:53 We still don't know height, H, here either.
00:56 So, we can't solve this problem, yet.

Understand the problem

The parallelogram ABCD is shown below.

BC is the diameter of the circle whose circumference is equal to 10π 10\pi cm.

ECFD is a rhombus whose area is 24 cm².

Step-by-step solution

Let's try to calculate the area in two ways.

In the first method, we will try to use the rhombus ECFD:

Let's try to calculate according to the formula area=DC×hDC area=DC\times h_{DC}

We will lower a height to DC and see that we do not have enough data to calculate, so we will not be able to calculate the area of the parallelogram using the rhombus.

In the second method , we will try to use the circle:

area=BC×hBC area=BC\times h_{BC} We will lower a height to BC and see that we do not have enough data to calculate, so we will not be able to calculate the area of the parallelogram using the circle.

From this it follows that we do not have enough data to calculate the area of parallelogram ABCD and therefore the exercise cannot be solved.
