8 is the base and 3/4


Part A: What is the area of the parallelogram? Show your work. (5 points)

Part B: How can you decompose this parallelogram into two triangles? If this parallelogram was decomposed into two triangles, what would be the area of each triangle? (5 points)

Respuesta :

Answer:

Part A: 6 Part B: Put a line from the top right corner to the bottom left corner. Each triangle's area would be 3.

Step-by-step explanation:

PART A

The formula to find the area for a parallelogram is A = bh (Area = base · height)

A = bh

A = 8 · 3/4

A = 6

PART B

Draw a parallelogram if you need to show work and then just connect the top right corner and the bottom left, or top left to bottom right. If 6 (area of the parallelogram) ÷ 2 (since there is two triangles) = 3, then the area of the triangles has to be 3.
