what is the area of the parallelogram if the base is 10 the high is 12 and the with is 3
To find the area of a parallelogram, you can use the formula:
Area = base x height
In this case, the base is 10 and the height is 12, so:
Area = 10 x 12 = 120 square units
Therefore, the area of the parallelogram is 120 square units.
how do you know this
I know this because the formula for finding the area of a parallelogram is multiplying the base by the height. This formula is a basic concept in geometry that is commonly used to find the area of various shapes, including parallelograms. In this case, we just substituted the values of the given base (10 units) and height (12 units) into the formula to calculate the area.
what is the area of the triangle when the base is 7 the height is 13 and the with is 18 or in any way
It looks like there might be a bit of confusion in your question regarding the parameters provided for the triangle. In a triangle, you generally do not specify the "width" as you would in a parallelogram. Instead, you would typically use the base (or one side) and the height to calculate the area.
The formula for calculating the area of a triangle is:
Area = 0.5 x base x height
If the base is 7 and the height is 13, you can substitute these values into the formula:
Area = 0.5 x 7 x 13
Area = 0.5 x 91
Area = 45.5 square units
Therefore, the area of the triangle with a base of 7 and a height of 13 is 45.5 square units.
but what if it's the other way around
If the base of the triangle is 13 and the height is 7, you can still use the same formula to calculate the area:
Area = 0.5 x base x height
Area = 0.5 x 13 x 7
Area = 0.5 x 91
Area = 45.5 square units
So, regardless of which value is given as the base and which value is given as the height, the result will be the same as long as you correctly multiply the base and height values together and then multiply by 0.5 to get the area of the triangle. In this case, the area of the triangle with a base of 13 and a height of 7 is also 45.5 square units.
but shoudn't you use 1/2 insted od 0.5
Yes, you are absolutely correct. When calculating the area of a triangle using the formula:
Area = 0.5 x base x height
The term "0.5" is another way of expressing "1/2." Both 0.5 and 1/2 represent the same numerical value and can be used interchangeably in calculations.
Therefore, the correct formula to calculate the area of a triangle when the base is 13 and the height is 7 should be using "1/2":
Area = 1/2 x base x height
Area = 1/2 x 13 x 7
Area = 1/2 x 91
Area = 45.5 square units
I apologize for the oversight in terminology. Thank you for bringing this to my attention.
