Question

Find the area of a parallelogram if a base and corresponding altitude have the indicated lengths. Write your answer as a mixed number.

Base 3 1/2 feet, 3/4 altitude feet.


PLEASE HELPP!!!!!! THANKS :)

Answer 1

\[Area\ of\ parallelogram\ = Base\ \times\ Altitude\]
\[Base= 3\frac{1}{2}=3+\frac{1}{2}=\frac{3\times 2}{1\times 2}+\frac{1}{2}=\frac{6}{2}+\frac12=\frac72\]
\[Altitude=\frac{3}{4}\]
so
\[Area=\frac72 \times \frac34\]
I think you can solve now, can't you?
