Find the area of the following parallelogram:

$760\ m^2$

$770\ m^2$

$780\ m^2$

$790\ m^2$

$800\ m^2$

Explanation

The formula for the area of a parallelogram is

.

Use the formula for a triangle to find the length of the height:

$a-a-a\sqrt{2}$

$4\ m-4\ m-4\sqrt{2}\ m$

Plugging in our values, we get:

$A = (19\ m)(4\ m)$

$A = 760\ m^2$

Find the area of the following parallelogram:

$760\ m^2$

$770\ m^2$

$780\ m^2$

$790\ m^2$

$800\ m^2$

Explanation

The formula for the area of a parallelogram is

.

Use the formula for a triangle to find the length of the height:

$a-a-a\sqrt{2}$

$4\ m-4\ m-4\sqrt{2}\ m$

Find the perimeter of the following parallelogram:

$38 + 8\sqrt{2}\ m$

$36 + 8\sqrt{2}\ m$

$34 + 8\sqrt{2}\ m$

$32 + 8\sqrt{2}\ m$

$40 + 8\sqrt{2}\ m$

Explanation

The formula for the perimeter of a parallelogram is

.

Plugging in our values, we get:

$P = 2(4\sqrt{2}\ m)+2(19\ m)$

$P = 38 + 8\sqrt{2}\ m$

Find the perimeter of the following parallelogram:

$38 + 8\sqrt{2}\ m$

$36 + 8\sqrt{2}\ m$

$34 + 8\sqrt{2}\ m$

$32 + 8\sqrt{2}\ m$

$40 + 8\sqrt{2}\ m$

Explanation

The formula for the perimeter of a parallelogram is

.

Plugging in our values, we get:

$P = 2(4\sqrt{2}\ m)+2(19\ m)$

$P = 38 + 8\sqrt{2}\ m$

Find the area of the following parallelogram:

Screen_shot_2014-02-27_at_6.43.30_pm

$48\sqrt{3}m^2$

$96\sqrt{3}m^2$

Cannot be determined from the given information.

Explanation

The formula for the area of a parallelogram is:

,

where is the length of the base and is the length of the height.

In order to the find the height of the parallelogram, use the formula for a triangle:

$a-a\sqrt{3}-2a$ , where is the side opposite the $\measuredangle30$ .

The left side of the parallelogram forms the following triangle:

$4m-4\sqrt{3}m-8m$ , where $4\sqrt{3}m$ is the length of the height.

Plugging in our values, we get:

$A=(12m)(4\sqrt{3}m)=48\sqrt{3}m^2$

6

Find the perimeter of the following parallelogram:

Screen_shot_2014-02-27_at_6.43.30_pm

Explanation

The formula for the perimeter of a trapezoid is:

,

where is the length of the base and is the length of the edge.

Opposite sides of a parallelogram have the same length. Therefore, both edges are and both bases are .

Plugging in our values, we get:
