Question

Daisy is making an abstract painting with two triangles. The dimensions of the painting are shown below:



The total area of the two triangles is _____ square inches.

Answer 1

Area of the parallelogram = 96 square units.

Solution:

The given image is a parallelogram.

Base of the parallelogram = 8 units

Height of the parallelogram = 12 units

Let us find the area of the parallelogram.

Area of the parallelogram = Base × Height

                                           = 8 units × 12 units

                                           = 96 square units.

Area of the parallelogram = 96 square units.

Hence the total area of the parallelogram = 96 square units.
