What is the area of a parallelogram with a base of 38 meters and a height of 12 meters?

For this case we have by definition that the area of a parallelogram is given by:

Where:

b: It's the base

h: It's the height

According to the data we have:

Substituting in the formula:

The area of the parallelogram is

25/4

step-by-step explanation:

call segment cd's length x. because dc and ab are parallel, angle acd and cab, so triangles adc and abc are similar and we can set up the equation x / ac = ac / ab, or x / 5 = 5 / 4 and x = 25/4.
