Awindow in the shape of a parallelogram has the dimensions given. what is the area of this window? 20 ft² 24 ft² 28 ft² 40 ft² .

The base is AB = 5 ft because AB = CD. Recall that opposite sides in a parallelogram are congruent and parallel.

The height is DE = 4 ft

Area of a parallelogram is base times height. It's effectively the same formula as a rectangle (any rectangle is a parallelogram, but not the other way around).

So,

area of parallelogram = base * height = 5*4 = 20

note: the base is always perpendicular to the height

another thing to point out: the info AE = 2 ft isn't used at all. It's probably put in there to distract or to make students try to find AD using the pythagorean theorem. Knowing the length of AD will not help find the area of the parallelogram. Though now that I think about it, you could divide this parallelogram into a rectangle and two triangles. Then find the area of each small piece to add them up to get the final answer. I show what I mean in the attached image below. However, it's much easier to use the formula area = base*height.

125 yards

step-by-step explanation:

i take 75 plus 50.

answer:   expression= p+p*d%

price reduction + sale price = $625

sale price: $p+$p*d%

where d% is the percentage of discount

step-by-step explanation:

original price = p

price went down by $150 price reduction $p*d%

sale price= $ 475

therefore the price before sale is: $625

and the expression that shows the price before sale is: p+p*d%
