Question

area

Answer 1

Think, this is a rhombus, so the only way to split it into two triangles would be to cut it diagonally.

Answer 2

6?

Answer 3

Incorrect, assuming that you split the `area of the rhombus` into 2 triangles, meaning that it would just be half of 2.

Answer 4

half of 3\2?

Answer 5

right you keep going with the triangles -- the answer you gave for A is mashed up -- check image which i am attaching

Answer 6

i type all of it from there

Answer 7

Area of a parallelogram is
A = bh
You have b = 3, h = 2/3
So the area is:
A = 3*(2/3)

Answer 8

You can split the parallelogram in half by adding any diagonal

Answer 9

ok the answer is 2?

Answer 10

Yes for the parallelogram

Answer 11

The area of the rhombus is 2 yeah.

Answer 12

ok thanks so i type what in words

Answer 13

So splitting it into 2 `even` triangles would just be `1` for each.

Answer 14

ok

Answer 15

You decompose the parallelogram by adding a diagonal AC or BD

Answer 16

Both the triangles will have same area as both have same base and height

Answer 17

i got the first part

Answer 18

My last two posts are about part B

Answer 19

tThis is what s/he means by splitting it by it's diagonals.

Answer 20

do i put then?

Answer 21

then you decompose?

Answer 22

Each of the triangles will have area:
A = 1/2bh

Answer 23

And this is where they say all angles and sides would be congruent.

Answer 24

You have the value of bh already, its 2

Answer 25

as I said, why are you mashing it all up

it is such an eh work you did there

id suggest you use this, which I pre-wrote for you :D

Part A: Area of parallelogram = base * height; based on the image, the parallelogram base is 3, and the size is 2/3. substituting that into the formula will be area of parallelogram = 3 * 2/3, which is equal to 6/3. 6/3 simplified is 2. We can say that the area of the parallelogram is 2 feet square.

Part B: we can decompose this parallelogram into two triangles by adding one of its diagonals, respectively AC or BD. to find the area of each triangle, the formula is area of one triangle=1/2*base*height where just like in the parallelogram, the base of the parallelogram is 3, and the height is 2/3. Knowing that the area of one of the triangles would be 1/2*3*2/3, which is the same as 1/2*2. so the area of one triangle is 1 foot square

Answer 26

keep part A?

Answer 27

no do not keep it -- its confusing; use the one i did.

so many replies above to get to one single conclusion eh :\

Answer 28

ok

Answer 29

thanks again
