the tiles (right angled triangles) are arranged around a parallelogram-shaped tile. Calculate the area of the parallelogram. b= 36 h= 13.2​



Answer :

The area of the parallelogram is 475.2 square units.

A parallelogram is a polygon with four sides whose each pair of opposite sides are equal and parallel.

The properties of parallelogram are:

  • Both pairs of opposite side are equal and parallel .
  • Both diagonals are equal.
  • Each diagonal divides the parallelogram into 2 congruent triangles.
  • Squares , rectangles and rhombus are parallelograms.
  • The area of a parallelogram is given by the product of base and height of the parallelogram.

Given base b of the parallelogram a 36 units and height h of the parallelogram as 13.2 units.

Therefore we know from the properties of the parallelogram that area is given by the product of base and height.

∴area = b × h

or, area = 36 × 13.2

or, area = 475.2 square units

Hence the area of the parallelogram is 475.2 square units .
