a) 35 yd
b) 24 yd
c) 26 yd
d) 40 yd

Answer 1

since it is a parallogram you know that opposite sides are equal

so you have 2 long sides and 2 short sides

the "7 yd" dimension is NOT needed to solve this

add up the 4 sides that you are given.....

Answer 2

so 26 so far ?

Answer 3

that's it

no 'so far' that is your answer

Answer 4

ok

Answer 5

Answer 6

np

you need the "7 yd" if they ask you for the AREA

Answer 7

so how could I find the area ?

Answer 8

with the 7 yd ?

Answer 9

what is the formula for area of parallelogram?

Answer 10

a: b * h ?

Answer 11

right ?

Answer 12

A = h * b

but h is the 7 yd and b is the 5 yd

Answer 13

so it is a: 7 * 5 ?

Answer 14

Answer 15

A = 7*5

what are the UNITS?

Answer 16

yards

Answer 17

35 yd
