00:00 Find AE
00:03 We'll use the formula for calculating the area of a parallelogram
00:09 Side(DC) multiplied by height (AE)
00:14 Let's try to substitute appropriate values and solve
00:18 We have too many unknowns so we cannot solve
00:22 And this is the solution to the question

Step-by-Step Solution

To assess whether side AEAE can be calculated, we generally consider using the formula for the area of a parallelogram, Area=base×height \text{Area} = \text{base} \times \text{height} . However, this requires knowing or specifying both the base and height, which are not provided in this problem. Without explicit dimensions or angles that specify AEAE directly, it is not possible to isolate and calculate AEAE merely from the area alone.

Given the lack of adequate information about base lengths, height, or angles essential for such calculations, particularly when specific side lengths or geometric properties are needed, we conclude that it is not possible to calculate the length of side AEAE.

Therefore, the appropriate conclusion is that it is not possible to calculate side AEAE with the information provided.

Answer

It is not possible to calculate.
