A parallelogram is cut out of a 12 inch by 8 inch sheet of paper there are four right triangles remnats two have the dimensions 2 inches by 9 inches and the other two have the dimensions 3 inches by 6 inches

96 in²

36 in²

60 in²

6.51 in

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that :

Dimension of paper = 12 in by 8 in

Dimension of right triangles :

2 in by 9 in ; 3 in by 6 in

Area of sheet of paper = 12 in * 8 in = 96 in²

Area of triangle = 1/2 base * height

Therefore, area of remnant right triangle :

2 * 1/2 * 2 * 9 = 18 in²

2 * 1/2 * 3 * 6 = 18 in²

Combined area of triangle left = 18in + 18in = 36 in²

Area of parallelogram = Area of sheet - Area of triangles left

Area of parallelogram = 96in² - 36in² = 60 in²

Base, b of parallelogram = 9.22 in

Area of parallelogram = base * altitude,h

60in² = 9.22h

h = 60 / 9.22 = 6.51 in
