A parallelogram has an area of 48 square meters. What could its base and height be? b = 16 m, h = 3 m
b = 12 m, h = 4 m
b = 6 m, h = 8 m
b = 7 m, h = 7 m
pick more than 1!

The area of a parallelogram is its base times the height. So the height is 48/12 which is 4 AND 8

Step-by-step explanation:

area of part 1:

a1=base*height/2=(8+2)*(8-2-2-1)/2=10*3/2=15 ft^2

area of part 2:

a2=length*width=(8+2)*1=10 ft2

area of part 3:

a3=length*width=8*2=16 ft2

total shaded area : a1+a2+a3=41 ft2

total area of the reactangle : a=16*8=128 ft2

total area of the nonshaded region : 128-41=87 ft2

5/12, or 5: 12
