The parallelogram ABCD is shown below.
BC is the diameter of the circle whose circumference is equal to cm.
ECFD is a rhombus whose area is 24 cm².
What is the area of ABCD?
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
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:
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.
It is not possible to calculate.
A parallelogram has a length equal to 6 cm and a height equal to 4.5 cm.
Calculate the area of the parallelogram.
