Examples with solutions for Area of a Parallelogram: Applying the formula

Exercise #1

Calculate the area of the following parallelogram:

666555

Video Solution

Step-by-Step Solution

To solve the exercise, we need to remember the formula for the area of a parallelogram:

Side * Height perpendicular to the side

We can identify that in the diagram, although it's not presented in the way we're familiar with, we are given the two essential pieces of information -

Side = 6

Height = 5

Let's substitute into the formula and calculate:

6*5=30

And that's the solution!

Answer

30 cm²

Exercise #2

Step-by-Step Solution

We know that ABCD is a parallelogram. According to the properties of parallelograms, each pair of opposite sides are equal and parallel.

Therefore: CD=AB=10 CD=AB=10

We will calculate the area of the parallelogram using the formula of side multiplied by the height drawn from that side, so the area of the parallelogram is equal to:

SABCD=10×7=70cm2 S_{ABCD}=10\times7=70cm^2
