The area of the parallelogram below is _ square meters.

53m²

Step-by-step explanation:

9 - 2 = 7   7 * 7 = 49

^ square in the middle

2 * 7 = 14

since there are 2 triangles (one on each side), and both equivalent i wont divide by two to get the area

49 + 14 = 53

b. 6

step-by-step explanation:

we are given the table representing an exponential function.

we can see from the table that, as x is increasing, the value of y is increasing in the power of 6.

i.e. the following relation is obtained,

x = 1, y = 6

x = 2, y = 36 =

x = 3, y = 216 =

x = 4, y = 1296 =

x = 5, y = 7776 =

so, the geometric series obtained is .

thus, the common ratio is given by = = 6.

hence, the common ratio is 6.
