Activity
Consider a parallelogram in which one side is 3 inches long, another side measures 4 inches, and the measurement of one angle is 45. How many
parallelograms can you construct given these conditions? What are the lengths of the sides and the measurements of the angles for the
parallelogram(s)?
Complete the steps below to solve the problem,
Part A
Using a ruler and protractor, draw a parallelogram that satisfies the given conditions. If you don't have these tools available. draw it freehand)
How many different parallelograms can you draw based on the given conditions?
