A piece of a tile is in the shape of a right triangle. The base is 112 centimeters and the height is 212 centimeters. What is the area in square centimeters?
The area of a parallelogram is given by the formula:
A = bh
where A is the area, b is the base (one of the sides), and h is the height (the length of the perpendicular line between the base and the opposite side).
In this case, the base is the top side of length 10 centimeters, and the height is the length of the perpendicular line from the top left vertex to the bottom side, which is 8 centimeters. Plugging these values into the formula, we get:
A = (10 cm)(8 cm)
A = 80 square centimeters
Therefore, the area of the quadrilateral is 80 square centimeters.
The area of a parallelogram is given by the formula:
A = bh
where A is the area, b is the base (one of the sides), and h is the height (the length of the perpendicular line between the base and the opposite side).
In this case, the base is the bottom side of length 14 inches, and the height is the length of the perpendicular line from the bottom right vertex to the top side, which is 3 inches. Plugging these values into the formula, we get:
A = (14 inches)(3 inches)
A = 42 square inches
Therefore, the area of the quadrilateral is 42 square inches.
The area of a triangle is given by the formula:
A = (1/2)bh
where A is the area, b is the base, and h is the height. Plugging in the values given, we get:
A = (1/2)(112cm)(212cm) = 11,904 cm^2
Therefore, the area of the triangle is 11,904 square centimeters.

I'm sorry, but I cannot answer this question without more information. In order to find the area of a triangle, we need to know either the length of the base and the height, or the lengths of two sides and the included angle (if it is not a right triangle). Counting squares may give us an estimate, but it is not enough information to calculate an accurate area.

Use the image to answer the question.
An illustration shows a trapezoid with the longer side on the left labeled as 12 inches. The opposite parallel side is 10 inches. Two perpendicular dotted lines extend from the vertices at either end of the 10 inch side to the longer side, and are labeled 8 inches. The two perpendicular lines are denoted by 4 right angle symbols.
What is the area of the quadrilateral?
To find the area of the trapezoid, we can use the formula:
A = (1/2)(b1 + b2)h
where A is the area, b1 and b2 are the lengths of the parallel sides, and h is the height (the length of the perpendicular line between the parallel sides).
In this case, b1 = 12 inches, b2 = 10 inches, and h = 8 inches. Plugging these values into the formula, we get:
A = (1/2)(12 + 10)(8)
A = (1/2)(22)(8)
A = 88 square inches
Therefore, the area of the quadrilateral is 88 square inches.
