A parallelogram is shown below: A parallelogram ABCD is shown with DC equal to 8 feet and the perpendicular distance between AB and DC equal to 3 over 4 feet. Part A: What is the area of the parallelogram? Show your work.

The correct answer is - 6 square feet.

Explanation:

The area of a parallelogram is the product of its base and the height or perpendicular distance between the base and its parallel side.

Area = Base*height

Given:

length of base DC = 8 feet

the perpendicular distance between AB and DC = 3/4 feet

Solution:

By the formula,

Area = Base*height

Area = 8*3/4 = 6

Thus, the correct answer is - 6 feet.

tropical storm katrina, and it made landfall between miami and fort lauder-dale, florida, as a category 1 hurricane (a storm that, on the saffir-simpson scale, exhibits winds in the range of 74–95 miles per hour [119–154 km per hour]). sustained winds of 70 miles per hour (115 km per hour) lashed the florida peninsula, and rainfall totals of 5 inches (13 cm) were reported in some areas. the storm spent less than eight hours over land. it quickly intensified when it reached the warm waters of the gulf of mexico.
