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)

Part A. The formula for finding the area of a parallelogram is A=bh where A is the area, b is the base and h is height.
A=bh where b=8 feet ,h=3/4 foot and A=?
A=8*3/4
A=6 feet The area of the parallelogram is 6 feet square
Part B.You can decompose a parallelogram into two triangles by drawing a diagonal from one end to the another.The formula for finding the area of each triangle is A= 1/2bh where A is area b is base and h is height.Therefore:
A=1/2bh where b=8 h is 3/4 and A=?
A=1/2*8*3/4
A=3 feet square. Therefore the area of each triangle is 3 feet square.

First subtract 10 from both side
y^2+6y-16=0
(y+8)(y-2)=0
-8 and 2
