find the area of a parallelogram if the two sides measure 24.3 inches and 31.9 inches and the shorter diagonal is 36.4 inches

Respuesta :

S= (24.3 + 31.9 + 36.4) ÷ 2
   =46.3
Area = [tex] \sqrt{s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c)}[/tex]
         = [tex] \sqrt{46.3(46.3-24.3)(46.3-31.9)(46.3-36.4)[/tex]
         = 381.066 

The area of the given parallelogram will be 762.14 inches².

What is a parallelogram?

A basic quadrilateral with two sets of parallel sides is known as a parallelogram.

A parallelogram's facing or opposing sides are of equal length, and its opposing angles are of similar size.

There are 4 types of parallelograms, including 3 special types. The four types are parallelograms, squares, rectangles, and rhombuses.

The parallelogram consists of two equal triangles with side lengths as shown in the figure.

Area of 1 triangle = [tex]\sqrt{s(s-a)(s-b)((s-c)}[/tex]

where s = (a+b+c)/2

So s = (31.9+24.3+36.4)/2  = 46.3

Now the area of the triangle will be

⇒ [tex]\sqrt{46.3(46.3-31.9)(46.3-24.3)(46.3-36.4)}[/tex]

⇒ 381.07 inches²

Now the area of parallelogram = 2× area of a triangle.

Area of parallelogram = 2 × 381.07 ⇒ 762.14 inches².

Hence the area of the parallelogram will be 762.14 inches².
