Understand the problem

The square ABCD and the parallelogram AFED are shown below.

The area of the parallelogram is equal to 100.

ED = 5

How long is AC?

Step-by-step solution

The area of a parallelogram is equal to the side multiplied by the height, as we know that ED is equal to 5, the area is also given.

We place the data in the following formula:

$S=AC\times ED$

$100=AC\times5$

We divide by 5 the two sections:

$\frac{100}{5}=\frac{5AC}{5}$

$20=AC$

Final Answer

$20$
