Without a visual representation or additional information, it is not possible to determine the area of the parallelogram.
inside of the parallelogram is 10 cm and outside on the right is 12 cam on the left is 12cm on the top and bottom is 14
To find the area of a parallelogram, you can multiply the base length (the length of one of the sides) by the height (the perpendicular distance between the side and its parallel side).
In this case, since the parallelogram has equal sides, you can take any of the given side lengths as the base and the corresponding perpendicular distance as the height.
Let's take the side length of 12 cm on the right as the base. The perpendicular distance is given as 10 cm. Therefore, the area of the parallelogram is:
Area = base * height = 12 cm * 10 cm = 120 sq. cm
Therefore, the correct answer is D) 120 sq. cm.
next one
one the left is 16 cm on top 6 cm on the bottom 14cm and then there is another width next to the 6 and that width is 2cm
To find the area of this parallelogram, we need to know the height or the extra width mentioned next to the 6 cm side. Without that information, it is not possible to determine the area of the parallelogram accurately. Please provide the value of the extra width or any additional information.
it's 2 cm
Thank you for providing the additional information.
To find the area of the parallelogram, we'll use the formula for the area of a parallelogram:
Area = base * height
Here, the base of the parallelogram is the longer side, which is 16 cm, and the height is the distance between this base and the shorter side, which is 6 cm.
The extra width mentioned is 2 cm, and since it is perpendicular to the base, it can be considered as a height of the parallelogram as well.
Now we have two possible scenarios:
1) Using the height of 6 cm:
Area = base * height = 16 cm * 6 cm = 96 sq. cm
2) Using the extra width of 2 cm:
Area = base * height = 16 cm * 2 cm = 32 sq. cm
Therefore, we have two possible area values: 96 sq. cm and 32 sq. cm. Please check if the extra width is indeed meant to be a height, or if there is any other information that can help determine which value is correct.
