Find the area of the parallelogram below by decomposing into two triangles. The figure is not drawn to scale.

Step-by-step explanation:

area of a triangle = (½)(base)(height)

You can divide the parallelogram into two congruent triangles with base = 8 mi and height = 10 mi.

area of each triangle = (½)(8)(10) = 40 mi²

area of parallelogram = 2(40) = 80 mi²

hey there!

if she's saving for six months, let's divide the total number we need for the trip by six, dividing it into the amount that needs to be saved for each month.

500 ÷ 6 =

she needs to save at least this amount each month, so we should use this symbol: ≥

let x be the amount she saves each month.

your final answer is x ≥

hope this !
