Yep...so what is the area of this parallelogram?

nikykot · Answer

I would think that the height of the parallelogram would be 2.7 and the base 1.5 and the answer 4.05....but I guess I'm definitely wrong :(      (math has never really been my favorite subject in life)

You are correct!U just gotta start liking math and u'll figure out everything in it...as regards to this question,u got the area now...well look at it this way...|dw:1456563498320:dw|
whether u take AB as the base or BC as the base...the area of the parallelogram will be the same(provided u take the correct corresponding height)Do u agree to this?
