Question

1. draw two parallelograms. one must be a rectangle and one cannot be a rectangle. both with areas of 18 square units. (each square = 1 sq. unit) 2 pts. 1:6x3 = 18 2:6x3 = 18 6. find the area of the figure. each square = 1 sq. unit. explain or show your reasoning. (2 pts) area: 28 sq 10 + 10 = 20 3+3 = 6 20+6 = 26 9x6 = 54

Explanation:

Step1: Count full - squares

Count the number of full - unit squares within the figure.

Step2: Combine partial squares

Look at the partial squares around the edges. Combine them to form whole squares. For example, two half - squares make one whole square.

Step3: Sum up the squares

Add the number of full - squares and the equivalent whole squares from the partial ones to get the total area.

Answer:

28 sq. unit
