GIVING BRAINLIEST Question 1 (Essay Worth 10 points) (05.01; 05.02 MC)
A parallelogram is shown below:

A parallelogram ABCD is shown with DC equal to 3 feet and the perpendicular distance between AB and DC equal to 2 over 3 foot.

Part A: What is the area of the parallelogram? Show your work. (5 points)

Part B: How can you decompose this parallelogram into two triangles? If this parallelogram was decomposed into two triangles, what would be the area of each triangle? (5 points)

I THINK

 A.  6 ft²

 B.  draw a diagonal; each triangle would be half the area: 3 ft²

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A:

The area is the product of the length of one of the parallel sides and its distance from the other:

 A = bh = (8 ft)(3/4 ft) = 6 ft²

__

Part B:

A parallelogram can be divided into two congruent triangles by either of its diagonals. Since the triangles are congruent, each will have 1/2 the area of the parallelogram. In this case, each triangle's area would be ...

 (1/2)6 ft² = 3 ft²
