If a parallelogram has the width of 5 and the length of 6 if you draw a line somewhere which is 5 feet what is the area of the parallelogram
The area of a parallelogram is calculated by multiplying the length of the base by the height of the parallelogram. If a line is drawn inside the parallelogram that is 5 feet long, it divides the parallelogram into two triangles. Each triangle has a base of 5 feet and a height of 6 feet (since the height of the parallelogram is 6 feet).
Therefore, the area of each triangle is calculated as:
Area = (1/2) x base x height = (1/2) x 5 x 6 = 15 square feet.
Since there are two equal triangles, the total area of the parallelogram is equal to the sum of the areas of the two triangles, which is 15 + 15 = 30 square feet. So, the area of the parallelogram is 30 square feet.
