If two sides of a parallelogram are 19 cm and 15 cm, and the angle between the sides is 70 degrees, then the area of the parallelogram is ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

can i use the formula to find the area : S = 1/2 ab sin C ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

It should work, in this case it will be \( ab \sin c \)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

would it be 134 cm as the answer?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

wait just ab sin C ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes, parallelogram -twice the rectangle.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so it's correct then ? 134 ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

134 correct ? guys ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Nooo 1 min =.=

Directrix (directrix):

Two times that or 267.81. 134 is the area of the triangle which is 1/2 that of the parallelogram. So double.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

oh i see

Directrix (directrix):

A diagonal divides a parallelogram into two triangles of equal area.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

ahh so to find the area of the whole you gotta x2

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i see what u mean now :)

Directrix (directrix):

Yes, you got it.
