Question

sergio wants to cut apart the parallelogram shown and then rearrange the pieces to form a rectangle.
which diagram shows how sergio can cut the parallelogram?
what is the area of the rectangle sergio makes?
area of rectangle = square units
a = lw

Explanation:

Step1: Determine length and width

From the grid, the base of the parallelogram (length of rectangle) is 5 units, height (width of rectangle) is 4 units.

Step2: Calculate area

Using formula \( A = lw \), substitute \( l = 5 \), \( w = 4 \).
\( A = 5\times4 = 20 \)

Answer:

20
