A plot of land is 25 feet in length and 20 feet wide, and it is in the shape of a parallelogram. The perpendicular distance from the long side to the opposite long side is 18 feet. What is the area of the piece of land?

Given:

Length of the parallelogram = 25 feet

Width of the parallelogram = 20 feet

Perpendicular distance from the long side to the opposite long side = 18 feet.

To find:

The area of the piece of land which is a parallelogram.

Solution:

Area of a parallelogram:

Let the longer side, 25 feet is the base, then the height of the parallelogram is 18 feet. So, the area of the parallelogram is

Therefore, the area of the piece of land is 450 square feet.

step-by-step explanation:

i think something is missing in your question because y-1=(x-12) would not pass through the point (-4,-3). because if you replace x by -4 your are supposed to find y=-3 which is not the case her. if you replace x by -4 you find =-15.

i assume the right equation is y-1=1/4*(x-12) because this one is passing through both your points (if you are interested to know how i found that out i can tell you).

in this equation if i replace x by -4 i find y=-3 and if i replace x by 12, i find y=1 so the line representing this equation is passing through those 2 points.

then the standard form of the equation is finding an expression of y in function of x

y-1=1/4*(x-12)

y=x/4-3+1

y=x/4-2

hope that .

do you confirm there was a mistake in the question?
