Question

the eagle express shipping service logo is in the shape of a parallelogram. the side lengths of the logo painted on a delivery truck are shown. the perpendicular distance from the bottom of the logo to the top of the logo is 3 ft. what is the area of the logo on the truck? show your work. 9.3 square feet 4.65 square feet 9.6 square feet 12.4 square feet

Explanation:

Step1: Recall the area formula for a parallelogram

The area formula for a parallelogram is \(A = b\times h\), where \(b\) is the base and \(h\) is the height (perpendicular distance).

Step2: Identify the base and height

From the problem, the base \(b = 3.1\) ft and the height \(h=3\) ft.

Step3: Calculate the area

Substitute the values into the formula: \(A=3.1\times3\).
Using multiplication: \(3.1\times3=(3 + 0.1)\times3=3\times3+0.1\times3 = 9+0.3=9.3\) square feet.

Answer:

9.3 square feet
